Site Subscriber’s Kelvin Posted June 3, 2020 Site Subscriber’s Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 Looking good Stuart - can't beat a bit of boat paint. Currently, I'm seriously impressed with the Rustoleum Rust Primer, which is waterproof despite looking like red oxide. It contains fish oil, can be put on wet metal and over treated metal, it seems to be the ticket so far. I threw some over rusty bare metal on a horizontal surface over a year ago and there's not a sign of rust staining yet. This was a seriously rusty piece of the gunwales and I expected the rust to be through within weeks but no. Non yet. Keep up the good work. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was planning on getting it fitted today, as I have already sorted the bottom of the frame, but can't find any pictures 🤪 nevertheless fuel system still needs a little TLC before I put the frame back. 🙄 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators hughezee Posted July 1, 2020 Author Administrators Report Share Posted July 1, 2020 The final instalment on the subframe with a glimpse of underneath with new tank sitting in it nicely 😁 I have never had a job take so long with delays with parts and supplies, it has really burned me out for a bit 😔 Anyway car on all fours for a short while before I tackle the front end? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
