Wouldn't go that far but trying not to shear stuff off, ( emphasis on trying ) doubt it will go back together as easily.

Re: Pickford's Kensington SE
wow. thorough disassembly but it looks like rust in all the usual places.
hurry up and get that welded so you can get out and drive it again soon

Re: Pickford's Kensington SE
Got a bit more done on the tro this week found all the small rust spots in and around the engine bay. Got them all ground back and rust killed them ready for a coat of primer.

Re: Pickford's Kensington SE
thanks.
are you going to be painting the front end your self?
I have fixed many rust spots throughout the years but always found it difficult to paint it afterwards in a way that doesn't just give me rust again in 6-12 months.

Re: Pickford's Kensington SE
Yeah going to be doing everything myself. Well bar the welding, I've got a man to sort that for me. No idea if it will come through again. I will just put 3 or 4 coats of primer on before roughly the same amount of top coat then mucho clear coat so it will be very thick paint, only time will tell if I've done a good enough job I suppose.
