Very disappointed it hasnt dropped off by itself and I haven't had a chance to go out and wrestle with it.
Very handy , they only live over the road! It was them lots family that broke in and nicked the copper pipes from our gaff!
Picture of my hole Yay old beams off, had to use a 6ft scaffold tube, one end wedged in the beam the other end being lifted by trolley jack
Obviously I knew my old beam was crusty, that's why I'm replacing it but I'm quite shocked how bad it is. Its the stuff you can't see that you should be worried about A lot of it is literally missing This is just some of the rot
My new beam I've degreased and I've degreased and I've degreased and then degreased a bit more. Today I've fully degreased it @anothrr 2 times, ready to rust treat it. But wiping a cloth over the beam I still get black residue coming off. I've already used 5litres of degreaser , scrubbing and sponging etc, I've now wiped over with clean cloths, is any residue going to bad news for paint?
It had black paint, underseal and grease over it, I've taken it all back to bare metal Where do I get panel wipes from? Yeah I've got a double gate at the end, it's a bit stealthy though, I built it just big enough to fit the van thtough, about a centimetre spare on each side!

Meant this kind of stuff - something with evil solvent in (usually naptha, which'll take most stuff off), not "green" stuff made from wholemeal tofu. Was the only thing that shifted greasy/waxy stuff from under my van. Great for sniffing as well https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/5L-Panel...071001&hash=item1c819af0b0:g:UJ0AAOSwA29Y5c9b
