Tomorrow for me is all day working on the corsa. First of all, im going to debadge it, but will I take off the bumpstrips? (Sorry, haven't got a decent picture of it, will take many decent photos tomorrow)
Then, I think ill paint the drums, black. Will i need to sand them down a little first, or just straight on with the hammerite? WIll i need primer or anything for the drums?
Next, a filter. Theres a Green cotton filter, & a pipercross type in the shed, which would be better?
Then it will be type for a damn good wash & polish, should be looking tidy then!
Oh aye, Ive got colour coded GSI front arches for it, might put them on too, but i cant be fucked taking out the inner arch etc

Sand down the drums and put on some zinc primer. Will stop them going rusty in a few years time. Technically you don't need to according to Hammerite - but I have seen a lot of drums rust when people just slap it on...

Yeah, its manky, could do with a clean, and yes, right up in the north of scotland, counts as the middle of nowhere
And the dog's owner is the guy who I bought the car of.
