Arches are all done. Die Grinder with wire wheel and removed all sealer etc from inside both arches. All treated and re sealed / stone chipped and painted.
All 4 damper mounts have been buffed back and treated with POR15 grey and now look like new.
Any corrosion on the floor has been dealt with in the same way. It was actually around the large metal plate in the rear foot well that was showing signs of rust so that was buffed back and treated.
I have also removed the bracket from the battery box as that was just harboring corrosion. Not needed so chopped it and binned it.
Sill covers have been removed and all is good in there. Bit dirty but all solid.
Wings and bumper off next so I can get to the bad bits on the leading edge of the sill (where the stones hit from the front wheels)

Same thing,, Worth a check around the grommets holes front and rear foot wells , I just welded this area on track build shell ,, Ive spent hours preparing that shell used a really aggressive wire wheel To get it as rust free as possible,, also had to put a 2inch plate the entire curve or rear arches on that. Will waxoil in the grommet holes on that, worth waxoil the same on csl. Check under cill covers Around the clip holes ,, If you haven’t looked |
