honestly i have already replaced at least 50% of this cab. theres no more original mitsi rust left (im sure theres some in the lower rad support but meh thats easy). if i had sandblasted/dipped this cab when i first got it id be all over a different one, but i think im on top of it now -

in my experience paint stripper removes the paint in layers, expecially the weaker stuff. my ute tray took 6 applications where it had been resprayed several times. very frustrating for me, potentially great for you

got one in the morrie as original sidevalve one has come apart at a seam and needs soldering togeather again tbh i have only actually driven a couple km on it but it worked right out of the box and seemed pretty good quality i hear the quality is hit and miss though, so if you get it from somewhere that has an easy return situation you will be ahead of the game *avtually might be an accuspark unit
