richmond Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Why's it's got to go back to bare metal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p4u1 Posted October 3, 2011 Author Share Posted October 3, 2011 To make sure I remove all the rust and protect it properly, not every where needs to go back to metal just where the rust is, then again the replacement boot lid I have is being stripped back to bare metal all over to check for rust starting and removal of rust I'm half way there with that but body work has stopped inside the garage now to keep dust etc away while I rebuild this Rs engine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
