Looks nice! Digging the hubcaps and white walls 

[TauRag]

Ha cheers rb drifter !

The hubs polish up real nice  and the white walls will be getting a refurb for final effect.

[maxted]

Yeah I agree looks really good on hub caps and whitewalls, cool that its a ke20 2 door don't see many here in NZ. 

[cletus]

looks cool!

are you going to repaint the same colour, use same wheels and engine etc?

[2sik25]

Very nice, i do like the 2 door ke20 very keen to see this come along

[TauRag]

Yip will be painting in the same white , wheels engine etc. I actually really like it as is , just need to get the hidden cancer out of it and save her for at least my lifetime.

the process you mentioned for deoxidine is correct except ive only ever used water not metho, the protective layer is minimal and wont hold up if the car is left outside overnight. if the deoxidine goes powdery you havent washed it off enough before drying. if the manel gets a rusty orange haze you havent dried it fast enough, you are after a rainbow haze over the bare steel

best to strip, send to blasters. get it home. spend a whole day with a vacuum and an air gun. then deoxidine, then lay some quality etch yourself

Hi 1vaknd. 

Thanks for the info.

The blasting guys will be painting it in epoxy after blasting using Carboguard 504.

So I need something that will keep the metal "clean" of rust while I work over the car until it is at the point that it can go to the blaster. They reckin that while blasting if there is any surface rust they can just "sweep" over it and it will be gone so heres to hoping.

Wipe some epiphos on the bare steel. Seems to keep surface rust off quite well on bare metal cars while we work on them

I stripped all the large flat panels, and a few other bits, with the 3m strip disks (great for chewing out bog) and then cleaned up the panels and wiped on some Keyphos - simple as.
My first shell has been left like that for years with no issue - I've occasionally touched up the odd spot.

I had the rest of the shell blasted by waikato sandblasting in Hamilton with ok results.

I got my KEYPHOS from car colours on the north shore.
