Red Rallye resto

[Ben_w]

If I ever, ever come across a car with this underseal crap on it again, I'm walking away. Don't care how rare, how cheap, how much i might want, it just ain't happening. Ever.

Rant out of the way and off my soapbox, I'll continue! Today's update goes a bit like this:

Borrowed the neighbor's pressure washer first thing to finish off the passenger arch I did yesterday. Took a bit more of the crap off and I'm happy with how it finished up.



Onto the driver's side. Exactly as before, absolutely caked in the stuff so jacked up, wheel off, strut and hub removed. Lots of room. Attacked with Tardis, white spirit and the scraper, it made relative short work of the accessible bits, getting to this stage quite quickly.



Again, failure of the underseal and rust in exactly the same place. I suspect it's down to the holes for the brake pipe brackets.



Continued to clean, found this odd shaped indentation on the chassis leg….



The bracket that holds the charcoal canister continues to annoys me. It needs replacing but it means buying two inner wing strengthening panels to cut them from and at £100, thats not happening….



Not particularly nice around the top mount area on the driver's side….



Removed both front brake pipes and both showing signs of corrosion on corners so will be replacing those..





Thats the worst of the jobs done now. Time to save some £££ to get it blasted.
