[QUOTE=Paul Ripley;3093706]Couple pics since the decals where fitted to the wheels. Not particularlly good pictures and the car needs a clean but you get the idea :tops:
 [/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=Paul Ripley;3093711]Close up of the rust where the fuel tank has rubbed the underneath
Started giving it a clean and rubbing down the surface rust
Random.. found a number 10 stamped in the rear panel near the exhaust hanger
Then applied a coat of this to the rust spots I had rubbed down
Rear beam to come off next :cry:[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=Paul Ripley;3095886]Update
Let the rust killer do its thing
Then primed them with this stuff
So basically the fuel area looks like it has the lurgy now :cry:
More tomorrow :tops:[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=Paul Ripley;3141294]Rear end removed
Gearbox out ready to go to PDE friday for the 3.9 drop down gears
My god the wax oil is thick at the front

Half of me is saying what the fuck am I doing, the other half is saying this really needs to be done or I'll regret it later.. starting to shit it whether it'll be ready for Central Day 
Kept at it thou...
What a a mission, almost knocked myself out on white spirit and had the headache of all headaches a couple of days ago, so i'm back on the WD40:cry:
The buisness end of the Monte
This is the worst part so far and had to wire brush back some surface rust
Gonna keep at it:tiff:[/QUOTE]

mallard green is a monte colour 
But Paul Ripley is beyond the point of obsession with escort cossie's
Dont get me wrong, i think everyone loves an Escos but he thinks he's found something fundimental and rare on the back panel by way of a number 10being stamped on it :lo:

I know Mallard is a Monte colour, doesn't make it the right one though
