Ultimate rust cure for your moggy....paint it brown, at least that way you dont notice the rust as much!!

Nice work, YG! Keep it up and keep us posted. Winter is a good time to finish the welding, then prep for paint in the spring and paint the car when the temp warms up in early summer!
Cheers John - all comments IMHO

Great work and great photos but please please get some proper stands anything is much better than bricks or concrete blocks. My favorite after axle stands is wooden blocks, railway sleepers cut up are good.

I don't want to labour a point and what I say is in good will. A bloke I worked with got killed under a car on bricks and blocks. Whilst your blocks haven't moved an inch, the danger is when then do go , they usually crumble without warning Please be careful.
