    Yeah paint stripper a couple of times , coarse steel wool wire wheels, nylon pads etc trying everything I can think of , yeah not sure exactly about the next stage was reading up about the Rust Bullet which one of the guys I think Taily ? has given glowing reports about, going to get my Panelbeater over to have a look and pick his brain

    You're doing a great job. I put an old foam mattress in the back of my HZ so I could sit, lie and roll around while sanding as I have a knee replacement and can't lean on it for too long.

    i dont know if i'd have the confidence to use any rust bullets or KBS or POR15 on full body etch or bonding coats. id be more inclined to use a top quality single pack metal etch. few thin coats so its like shit to a blanket. talk to blokes in the trade who have done restorations that are now 20-30 years on and see what they say perhaps

    Van went to blaster on Monday and has been blasted on a rotisserie top and bottom will bring it back home Monday my panel guy is busy for another month before I can have the repairs done, no nasty surprises just a few minor rust spots here and there nothing major, requires some panel work just behind passenger door from a hit I would say , it will be cut out and a new piece fabricated and put in.
