Red Rallye resto

[Ben_w]

Cracked on again this morning.

First job was get a big bag of cloths from my mates garage. £10. Job done.



Next was that suspension leg out of the way. Tried yesterday but couldn't find my hammer to remove the pinch bolt from the hub and to give the hub a bash to free the leg. Found it this morning, all sorted….



Then back to business. Liberal application of Tardis and scraper, followed by more Tardis and rubbing down with a cloth. The justification for doing all this soon became clear. As I've found in other places in the car, and as Willsy's has found in his 309, the factory underseal might look ok, but water is getting in behind and causing this…





Right on the seams too….

Anyways, more scrubbing, rubbing, scraping and swearing about the heat and I'm at this point…







It's nearly there. Gonna see if I can borrow my neighbours pressure washer, apply the Tardis again and give it a blast…..the bit around the lash down point on the chassis leg is proving a pain in the arse to clean and get at. Chassis leg clearly going to benefit from soda blasting too….
