Stripping & POR-15

So more stripping over the past few weekends. All quite boring really.








There was quite a bit of bog which the chemical paint stripper really doesn't bring up. In that last photo you can see a dent that goes down the whole rear body of the car just below door handle height. Looks like a good side swipe.

Last bits of rust left on the car now. Drivers hinge panel. You can see some rust holes. Thought I sould start small and explore.


Ok, so looks like we will need to cut some more.



I cleaned, cut and replaced some of the inner panel, the rest got rust converted and POR-15.


I cleaned up the tray with the wire brush, sanded by hand, and prepped with Metal Ready before two coats of POR-15.



The POR-15 really is quite amazing stuff. Really tough when it dries. Really glossy.

I think I will use it on the roof gutters, engine bay cross member, all my rust repairs (to seal & stop moisture getting into any bog I use), and subframes.

Lastly, I started sealing under the front gards and rear tray with rust preventing tar stuff.
