Rust

Have started doing some body prep work. There is quite a bit of surface rust on the vehicle. The roof was pretty bad. Luckily it had not eaten into the body work.

So after some "wax on, wax off" with some wet and dry sandpaper it was back to bare metal.

It was just a matter of doing one section at a time and sanding it back until smooth and all traces of rust removed.

Then I applied some rust proofing metal primer for protection and to prevent rust rearing its ugly head again.

Brakes

The front discs are a bit rusty, but I have it on good authority that they can be saved.

Assessment

Well, today we started stripping out the interior and giving the old boy/girl* a clean up. As you can see from the pictures, most of the fit-out is beyond repair and will need to be re-made.

At least the sink is still in good condition!

The same cannot be said for the fridge, which is kaput. (Yes that's tartan on the fridge door! MacCleod!)

The pop top was actually in pretty good condition, apart from a few holes.

"How the hell does this work?"

Rust. Luckily this one does not have that much.
