Thought i'd solve the rust problem in the arches, give the car a treat after near 2000 miles in 2 weeks.
Im sure no-one wants to look at 4 different wheels being treated so i'll just show one arches development.
(I know its the other arch but its near identical)
Took 5 hours in total and i'm shattered. Got a lot more to do on the under body but thats for another day
What to do on a sunny day?? De-rust some arches ha

I was as careful as i could have been, never fully put my arm or body under the car. Thanks for the advice thoughomega wrote:just a word of advice

slide the wheel you've taken off under the car, that way if it all goes wrong you can still get out/get a jack back under itNollingtonHards wrote:I was as careful as i could have been, never fully put my arm or body under the car. Thanks for the advice thoughomega wrote:just a word of advice
