finally a updated.

I folded Jarreds advice and sanding over the rust spots to bear metal. But this time i was using a sanding machine and decided to do everything again.
I think i did a good job, my old man said it was great and tomorrow were putting it in the garage to put some primer on it. After everything i put rust protection over the rust spots were.
Also i got some center caps for the steelies.

btw do you guys reckon im getting better at taking photos?

UPDATE....

I put the car in the garage today, YES.

Took off the the front windscreen to repair the rust.

Also i took of the bonnet to get it ready for painting.

I found quite a lot of rust under the windscreen put only surface rust. But there was also parts which needed some attention.(photos explain)

Also took some photos of the tools i was using to grind the rust off.
I gridded most of the rust off. It wasn't a big deal.

I will need to weld some bits up as well.

Regards.
