Whats the deal with Jap tin from the early 80's, it just falls away.

Time for some Metal Ready/POR15.

Make sure you get at as much of the rust as possible.

i am guessing that someone tried to "repair it" at one stage and gave up and just bogged it instead.....hence the rust just got bigger. dont worry i will be replacing everything with new steel as i dont want to be doing this yet again anytime soon. Everything will be done properly. Most of it will be easy to repair except the wheel arch and the rear window but i will get there, just might take me some time.

well here is some more rust that is exposed and cut out and got plenty more to go but raining outside





and this was the bonnet i was going to use....happens to have alot of bog and rust hiding underneath

and atm i am thinking of cutting the gutters off as parts of it is really rusty and not much there
so i was thinking just cut them off to make it look a little different which i think should make it look good
