As regards Job 1/ as above here are some photos of the work I have done.

This shows the rust bubble which was on the car when I purchased it in February this year 2011.

After using the air grinder I got down to bare metal with no real signs of corrosion.

I brushed on some 2 pack primer to protect the bare metal then removed the front bumper to get at the bottom area and found this.

I then had to do some dentistry work to remove all the corrosion leaving a hole the size of my finger so I put on some fibreglass matting then some polyester filler.
So this is how it looks after 2 coats each of primer basecoat then laquer.

Not bad for an aerosol job but after the wing is re fitted I may give it another coat.

Now for job no 2/ while the bumper is off I have fitted Jules modification shannon tube as this is what the old one was like after 40k

And the new one fitted.

I am midway through doing the stainless mesh grille and will post some photos when it's finished.
