Right. All the rust has been ground off and the k-rust is working its magic. Slowly but surely its working away. Got myself some anti rust primer too. Should be all primed up and ready for pain by monday

I can see where you've sanded the rust off , are you not going to sand the paint down to level it off? Or is the primer just temporary?

Good work anyway mate!

Ad. the plans are a c20xe. New brakes. Suspension. Stripped out interior. Roll cage. Buckets. Harnesses. Then some engine work. Nout much. Probly cams. Carbs and remap. Little bits like that.

Dan. Theres literaly only one patch of rust on the body work and thats just under the rear passenger window. Thatl be removed ad some point

Jamie. Yer its just a temp primer to stop it rusting over again. Very quick rattle can action. Will be getting done properly when i get some moneys in

Good progress, and fair play for doing it yourself

Is it deliberate or purely coincidental that the rust in the wheel well looks like a smiley face?!

what will you do when that rust comes back through the paint? resto every 12 months?

also mapping on carbs even though youve corrected yourself.... fail.

id give you 200 quid for this now and XE it tbh

Engine finaly bought. Getting it celivered on thursday or wednesday. Then its time to start stripping the engine down to a block so i can send it off to phillip2 for its internal work . Then ive got to make the corsa back into a rolling chassis so it can be pushed in and out of the garage easily enough and i can finaly take it off the bloody axle stands
