Excellent work mate, like the others I'm impressed! You've got me looking at shed rentals now. And I have added lathing to my list of must have skills, well done sir.

Thanks. Yes a lathe is very handy for a car restauration. And the usual tools like MIG welder and so on.

First layer of line seed based rust protection is hammer- tight bonded on the steel. Greyish so it converts the rust particles into iron ore. Good stuff

Furthermore led some new pipings for brake and fuel. Used for fuel 8mm LPG gas fuel line. I don't want to get the carb bowls full of rubbisch from the old fuel lines haha

Did some blasting today, and 2nd layer of rust protective paint is painted on the bottom. Another 2 layers of thicker stuff are needed for perfect black underbody finish.

And can you imagine it was like this before.

Glad with the results now.
