Doesn't look like you cut the rust away? Meaning it will come back.

There is no rust, its all been cut out before, i just left it in primer and drove the car a little bit, so rubbing it all down.

But yeah, i'm just rubbing it with sand paper and painting it with rattle cans for now.

One day it will just need a complete rub down and painted properly. But at least the painter won't be having to repair or remove much, i know all the hidden bodywork is sound and protected.

Don't want a respray and then having rust creep round from the non-visible parts that no one bothers with.

Tried to fit some new track-rod ends but the locking nut is seized on and isn't coming off without some heat, don't really care enough for the car to get a garage to change them so just going to leave it.

Did smack the hell out of it but it wasn't budging, also, ed china probably has someone pre-loosen all the nuts for him anyways.
