Re: 1988 2cv D*lly bits and bobs
careful your rear wings aren't hiding anything like mine james, as i removed the bolts of one side fine wing came off got to the other side removed 2 bolts then the wing just fell off as some of the areas around the other bolts have rusted away put the wing back on and no one needs to know

Re: 1988 2cv D*lly bits and bobs
James why are you using red oxide on everything? A primer with a high zinc content would be better. Plus red oxide does tend to be pretty soft and can scratch off easily.

Re: 1988 2cv D*lly bits and bobs
cos ive used ot before, and ive had a good expereince with it, ive used it in the marine environment on engines that corrode heavily, and red oxide has stopped it! so i personally rate it, and the guy i spoke to in the shop said hes been in the motoring industry 30 years and highly rates it...
i know thats salesmen talk, and i did ask him abut the zinc stuff they sold, which immay and get some at some stage...
andi know its soft, but i dont mind...
and i just ended up plastiering it everywhere i only intedned to do the floors, but ended up doing the seatbelt mounts and everything!! does look smart though..

Re: 1988 2cv D*lly bits and bobs
well, semi day of fail, got thd tow bar frame from matt arrived today, so painted and got rid of rust, looks amazing, that was the non fail part of today, the fail part is when i repainted it, water kept coming out the lip, i would dry it, then it would come back again,k so fustrating, and i let it dry all day, having done all that, it finally dried, so i painted, and once again, a buble of water formed from under the paint argh so frigging annoying, where is it coming from? id rather let it all come out, but if i then go and paint it, and water can get trapped in its obviously not good, where is it coming from do you recon? help lol

Re: 1988 2cv D*lly bits and bobs
todays bits and bobs
removed all 4 wings, scraped the road shite off, and old crusty wax oil (should of left it as it was like crocidle skin, then i painted round the rear wings (inner) with red oxide and did the outside of the toe board with red oxide i pretended not to see the small hole in the toe board
i also wire brushed away any rust on toeboard / anywhere i came across
now to wax oil over it in about an hour when its dried fully
and then tomrow evening a nother coat of wax oil (ill have to put the wings back on and then take them off tomrow.
i would leave the wingss off for the small journey im doing tomrow, but i better put them on just in case (doing a round trip of a mile!!!) pics to follow
