Yeah i gave it a good poking around with a screwdriver.
Most of its just where i peeled off flaking underseal and bubbling paint.
Slam panel had been brush painted black so i started chipping most of that off as well.

The only bits that i poked thru are where the arch liner nuts screw on, where you can see the yellow sound deadening.

No i was breaking an N reg one for spares, which is the one that was on the back of the towtruck.

Davie, not poked about the rears yet, doing the front end, then underneath, then the rear.

There wont be any rust when i'm finished.

Yesterday i drained all the fluids, removed the ARB/Tie Bar/ radiator and hubs, started unplugging the wiring loom.

Today i'll probably finish removing the loom then drop the gearbox out, i dare say the engine wont be far behind it to be honest, just taking my time, insurance is up next week anyway.
