My view, Why would you risk damaging your near perfect shell to repair such a small part? Just whack some wax oil in it, tape over it and go get wezzed.

The shells on its side now anyway. With its memory foam mattress haha

I'm scraping off all the old waxoyl as we speak

My view is to keep it good while it's good

well done on your own woth your brother. Maybe he's not so spazzy afterall?

My older brother is ok

Did all un bolts myself

So the car is very good









There's lots of tiny tiny bits like you see in the pictures...

I'm glad I'm nipping them in the bud!!

I was really down yesterday. Hate not having a 2cv to drive

Te only thing that concerns me is it's taking a lot of effort to complete remove the waxoyl...

After seeing how it's protected the bottom of the car I'm quite impressed
My only concern would be of a slight residue was left as the paint wouldn't adhere then

I'm giving it grief with white spirit and a rag but it's really slow and hard work

I think that's why most of the people CBA to take te shell off... I prefer to wait untill the worst happens.. In that case I only have to remove the shell once from the chassis and not every time I see a rusty spot. In that case, I can the the body off every month

I've given this some thought. Removing all the waxoyl and painting is going to be a ball ache.

So only rusty bits are getting the full month treatment

Good idea,no point in taking protection off now is there?

I've ordered some upol zinc 182 primer.
I've decided removin all the waxoyl to reveal good metal is a bit of time waiting.. So rather than do that I am going to wore brush with te drill any bad bits or rust that are showing, paint with zinc 182 and waxoyl

This will hopefully stop it

Also te two areas at the back, where the tank saddle is, and where te back sits on foam, are the worsely affected for me, as they weren't waxoyled as its not possible while the car is on the chassis

So those bits I'm going to wire brush rust off zinc 182 it, then in going to put the epoxy mastic stuff on it.

Any thoughts as to that plan?

And yea dave if it's good it's good

So only rusty boys get treated
