Looking good mate, almost done.

Be careful with that acid, it eats paint. I got a few drops on my epoxy and it etched. Maybe try CLR on the dash first and use the acid on proper rust.

Don’t listen to Matt, he got a few drops on fresh paint
This stuff works great on OFG paint, go nuts on that under dash tray and see for yourself, don’t let it dry , give it about 15 minutes each time, might need to do it 5 times,and wash off with warm water and dry it with a towel

No one listens to me until it’s too late! It clearly states on the bottle “avoid painted areas”. In Wiz we trust though, he has used it more than me.

WWWD?

What Would Wiz Do?

Cheers fellas
I will test it out to get to know it before I’d put it all over the dash!
Actually happy with the job CLR did on the dash.
I will use it on rusty stuff mainly but will be useful to get other stuff cleaned up too

Take it back to Bunnings and get a refund, then go to the Girls section and get some CLR
The instructions are just somebody’s opinion

Don’t tell me things have stalled again Big Dave.

Post a pic even if it’s just the dog down the beach.

Yeah I’ve got a couple of things done since last update
Have been cleaning up lots of bits with the rust buster, great stuff cheers Wiz. Including the dash and cab floor.
Removed the drivers door and pulled the door top apart.
Removed the remnants of the front valance and have been trial fitting the new one and bottom of A posts.
Also been getting under the middle and started on the chassis rail rust
