Took another drive in my Mother in Law's Rav4 to Nottingham to collect the wings and doors following their dipping and e-coating.  The outside looks very cool and I can clearly see that the rust has been removed in all the crevices which is cool.












The only downside is that the inner side of the wings have a section where the paint hasn't coated the metal and it has been allowed to rust.  Flippeneck it is frustrating.  I've spent £300 to have the wings sand blasted a while back and £420 to have the dipped and e-coated and yet they all still have rust on them.  I rubbed the offending area down and coated it in metal ready for 30 minutes before painting it.





The bonnet came up really well though.  My lovely wife helped me store them in her mother's loft which is pretty cool as I have some space in the garage to work on the car now.  Hopefully I can get some more of the welding done tomorrow.
