  9. After scraping the worst of the under seal of the belly pan
    I’ve brought it indoors to clean as much wax residue as I can off it before prepping for paint.
    This will be keeping me occupied for a while.

  10. What are you going to use to derust that? Looks slightly too big to use electrolysis rust removal. ;)
     
  11. I'm thinking a couple of coats of tractor enamel
     
  12. I’ll just have to clean it up best I can with a wire brush on the grinder and drill

  13. That will be the top coat
    I’ll use hammerite no1 rust beater as the primer

  15. I’m only doing this as my bus is about ten miles away and going to work on it isn’t classed as essential travel.

    I’ve got it cleaned up some more
    I think next stage will have to be hand sanding it

  19. Went to check on the van for the first time in months to find a dent in the passenger door

    It’s now been moved to a spot where there is no livestock so hopefully there will be no further damage.
