Just picked up a couple of panels on wed (door and boot) after they have been dipped, don't know why people are wary of this process it shows up all the imperfections stops the rust and leaves them clean to work on

Will start off slowly with the comments, and let them escalate with the build.

What a POS!

Only jokes. I like the way it sits, and there is something alluring about the colour choice. Just can't put my finger on it though...

Does it still have the bird scarer in it (4.2L)? All the noise, none of the power, only thought to be good for scaring birds!
