Ian’s Dual Cab

[vanell]

Side panels seem to fit, just screwed on for now, made up a new rear seat pedestal.
That’s it for now, I need A Pillars, bulkhead, Dual Cab rear inner and outer rear cabin pillars and a low hinge C Pillar
All in All happy with the measurement and level as it’s going together, It’s rusty but I don’t think it’s been in an accident to bend anything
That’s all for another couple of months

5 days no update? Not going soft on us are you Wiz?

[vanell]

Classic example of people only look at the pictures and never read anything

[splitthis]

Nah mate, you say “nothing for a couple of months” but we all know you can’t help yourself, there’s tinkering happening and we want to see it!

[vanell]

Waiting patiently for the next update...

I am having a go at treating and rust removal using just Phospohoric acid, and it is working quite well
I have been putting it on and waiting a half hour and hosing it off. I’m 4 times in and it’s working a treat , it’s going to take a lot of goes on the thick stuff but it’s working quite well

WOW, that is working a treat.

Certainly making the whole thing cleaner too.

And I got the pop out working with out breaking anything, although not looking forward to getting it apart, maybe I should just do the outside seal and call it done, ratty buses have ratty seals

Yep rat seals would be fine, I'm yet to experience an air tight bus anyway..

[Kombiiknut]

That acid looks to be working very well, what's it weld like and guess the paint stick like to it later on?

[vanell]

Welding will be fine, the acid turns it into grey clean metal.
I got the idea to just acid the metal from a YouTube video, Sylvester Custom’s, he paints 2pack sealer straight over it after you have washed it and dried it with a clean towel. He said it is the perfect base for 2 pack sealer

[splitthis]

What acid are you using Wiz? Ospho or just something generic?

[vanell]

You can get it from Bunnings, and you know it’s good when it almost straight away burns your skin!
