At last something positive

When we last left, the plan was to go out with the wire brush, curerust and the primer the next day.  Well for reasons I won't go into that didn't quite happen.

It was a week later (to the day) before I managed to do anything on the car.  The first job was the new hammer and chisel to try and get the remaining bits of wing off.

I was actually quite worried about this because the last thing I wanted to do was to take the doors off, but as you can see, I didn't need too.

As you can see, the inner wing is actually quite sound where it meets the sill, not requireing any extra welding there then :-)

After a run around with the wire brush (god how did we cope before wire brush attachments to a power drill) out came the curerust!!!

When that had done its thing, time to get the red oxide primer on.  Might not be everyone's cup of tea, but I have been using it on preserved railways for years so I know it is good stuff!!!

After letting that dry, it was time to cover up for the night.  As you can see from picture 3 I still have some wing to take off, but time was getting on so I left that for another day (Tomorrow????)

And I've still got to have a go at this welding lark to see if I can do it
