a couple zeroes on layaway apparently, and normally that price is quoted in pounds sterling.

Mg has me thinking he's really ready to part with it.

[king bob]

nigie your guys could make some money teaching people how to do do bodywork...these youngsters only know how to run in de bamboo and buy used bodyparts to slap on.........'straightening' and patchwork is a dying art...

soo true the first guy told me he would body wrk d hunter for 10g's
then d second guy meh neighbor told me 6000 minus paint.

[nigie]

Aye Bob..gramps coming on strong....









Indeed its easier to run down to Bamboo and get a fender....

[king bob]

wey jed nigie. i cah wait till sat 2 blow past you in one day, (wish i had a time machine)

[MG Man]

nigie, one question......why did he patch the rocker panel, rather than replace the whole thing?
The strength in some of these cars is that rocker panel, and patching it will ultimately weaken the car. Always better to replace the entire box section (inner and outer rocker panels)
Something to consider

I cant remember the condition of the pannel or if he cut away a section of it and dealth with the inner but it seems as if he made this as a big patch cause the "buy" pannels normally go higher....i assume that probably the pannel area wasnt all that bad..and he just decided 2 replace a section...ill ask...

[king bob]

You guys apparently never removed an entire rocker panel before to know the kind of CRAP that happens when you do.Its safer to just replace the rotted sections and avoid touching the door posts and the inner panel that attaches to the flooring unless its absolutely necessary.I should start giving lessons in bodywork and car restoration even though mechanics is my first love.

Hey guys I'm looking for a locally available water solouble rust remover that leaves a zinc phosphate type coating when washed .there was a product that i used on my escort well over a decade ago when i did my last restoration up until now so I am out of touch with the names of the new products.That was a spray or brush on leave for ah hour or so then rinse off leaving an electro dip type finish .Not Wonder, that leaves black ferric phosphate that is sometimes just as hard as the rust in the first place,the product in roadracer7's vid ,POR15 looks similar

used a product in the 80's called NUTRARUST. it's white and when painted on turns black. no need to wash off.it worked really well. bought it at rustop long circular mall. can't seen to locate it or anything similar. used it on my dad's escort, where the inner apron meets the firewall[rotted & busted] then applied fiber glass & resin to the treated surfaces. when my dad took the car to the body man the fib/glass was so difficult to remove that he had to burn it off. fantastic product that nutrarust.

.

This product dries white and washes off to leave a grey "primer coating" .It looks like electrodip
