don't know if lt's just the comp i'm on but this pic looks funny besides the bleed through on the paint the car looks like one of the illustrations from a brosher (spelling)

I think it is the angle of the light Mick, it came up ok when the pics were taken from the other side. The surface rust has gone right to the metal in a lot of places. The car must have been in a shed as stated, but must have been near the ocean The finish is very similar to how the Fernando Yellow was before I had it painted and that was near the sea.

I know how to find it, just follow the trail of parts falling out the back ....

Steve

yor prolly right about the sea air and the bleed through seems to be basically on the up facing surfaces where moisture could sit and do it's work

if i'm correct with my guessing that ute will nearly have travelled back and fourth between sydney and junee more times than mark

This is from Mark ....

LOL No but it does look good next to the chopped wagon..

Don't you dare chop it

NEVER Steve

Hi Steve
what will you get it painted in acrylic or 2 pak
since you cant get the nitro anymore

Howdy Jay .... Acrylic ..... Will have to do. Maybe I can just do the top half ....

i reckon acrylic would look more original 4 sure
and yeah if you have a good painter you may just get away
with doing the top half

Steve,
I know you love original cars but this needs to be painted. I love straight panels and new paint and quite frankly never understood the TAXI effect of painting bits, Do the lot I say .
Apart from the rust creep this is one good looking FB.

Regards Greg

Thanks every.

I hear you guys, I will have the whole exterior painted

Should look good

Steve

OK ...... underway!

nice progress Steve do you know what there using to treat the suface rust
on the panels before paint
