took awhile as well to prise my fingers off the fiver tooAs a fellow Yorkshireman I can applaud your frugality at getting a bargain.
Once you scrape off all the loose rust and sand it down.. try painting it with Smoothrite satin black which has built-in rust stabiliser and inhibitor. I painted my entire rear crossmember and tow fixings and it looks great and not a spot of rust anywhere.
might try that ..............
all the bolts have been cut off from the back and rusted in....will wait till i am back at work then i can put in vice and use the windy gun on themnice one, i got one of them for 30quids once but spent 2hours hacking it off the back of the rustiest chasis i'd ever seen! bargin!
took it into work today to paint it up...lovely jubblya fiver is a bargain, i eventually got 1 off ebay for £7.50 n the tow ball n jaw for the same, even wi postage at 15 quid i thought it was a result.
....just need some bolts now which i will scrounge off someone then potter along next door for a piece of angle iron for the bottom bracket.....got nothing to tow but it just looks niceWelcome To LandyZone, the Land Rover Forums!
