Who is doing what maintenance today?

[Juddian]

Yay, straight pass.
MOT tester said he couldn't find anything at all its been really well maintained and to carry on doing whatever i'm doing to it and should last many years yet.
Had a job to get me head through the door on the way out.

Bit of preventative maintenance today , etch primer on the chassis.

It's had 4 cans of etch on so far so 3 more should do it before primer and topcoat black.

Was it sand blasted first?

No, just Scotchbrited.

When its completely coated in etch primer I'll undercoat it all then I'm not sure of the top coat. Something with some thickness for durability. Open to suggestions. It's not something which will be doing a lot of miles or seeing salt.

Stone chip is your answer.

Raptor, can tint it if you dont want black

Thin but tough seems better than thick? It will fail eventually, and thick stuff seems to hide the rust for longer than thin, so you don't know until it's become a bigger problem?

Wow that looks in really good shape Andy. My 95 is well past that, so is going for major skeletal surgery at the end of the month.
