Re: my little project
good progress rich. I love seeing the pics of people's work areas, houses and how you go about solving problems. Quite a few other members are using the nylon pergola/shelter things.

Re: my little project
Slow and steady get things done
Got all four doors off tonight.


Any one have any idea on how to get all this off my engine bay??


Its all ziebart. Great for stopping rust but looks s##t.
Petrol seems to work quite well but it evaporates very quickly.
Cheers.

I found the best way to get that sort of stuff off was heat and a scraper (not necessarily a good idea if you want to keep the paint that's under it) to get all the thick stuff off then a rag soaked in gun cleaner to get the rest.
Re: my little project
The paint underneath looks fine so im hoping to keep all that on there. ill try the thinners and white spirit with a scourer then jet wash it all

Re: my little project
Looks like you have a pretty good finish on those doors mate. Did you take off the door rubbers though?
