Jackie Brown the CE2 OG paint 1978 Late Bay Microbus

It came off quite easily & I couldn't resist it

 

Lol, Milly was there when we took the screen out & bits off but I moved her & the works van up the road long before we fired up the grinder, I learned that glass & sparks don't mix a long time ago, just after I had fitted a new window in the front room of the house doh!

 

I'm very happy with it I'll spray all the bare metal with weld through primer & it should then last another 30 odd years.

 

Im a bit ocd myself dude but if a jobs worth doing it worth doing to the best of the funds/ability of that person

I just saw the first pic and cringed lol i should have been aware that your not that daft


Any plans for the engine in the champers?
I know a bloke whos very good at little details lol

 

Im not a big fan of weld through primer used that way

Its got very poor adhesion
I use it in seams that will be plug or spot welded

If you can reasonably clean the surface rust of an area then always use etch primer then a top coat
If you cant reach the area then spray in a decent rust convertor and once thats cured spray in a quality cavity wax like dinitrol

 

I am going to spray Dinitrol on after anyway What I'm worried about is if I use normal paint it may make the welding more awkward, or do you think it will be OK?

 

Bought a few parts:-

 

Yes they are repo, the front ones I used the original screws, the back don't seem to want to clip on, the screws are way to long so I won't use them, for the moment I've used the new cover on the other side on the old marker.

 

Front panel mocked up:-

 

looking good, I've never seen an inner panel in such good condition

 

Chris, to still have the inner valance that was attached to this front panel?

 

Cheers I was shocked, no rust at all.

 

Yes M8, I got the lot.

 

Would you be interested in selling it on? if you dont need it

 

Yes M8, which bit do you need exactly, is it just the top bit?

 

I just need the inner panel what the deformation panel attaches to, highlighted in the red box

 

Sorry pal I only just noticed your reply, I'm not getting notifications for some reason doh!
How about £30 delivered?
