I had a bit of time to work on the chassis, which has only surface rust, so I dropped out the petrol tank and some of the fuel lines from the rear. I also took out the rear section of the floor to get better access to the chassis. I only got about half of the job done. The metal was ground back to a nice shine and then painted in yellow. This might seem a bit gaudy but two things should be remembered:
1: this is the chassis, so it won't be seen.
2: this way, if the paint gets stone-chipped I will see a big black spot in the middle of the yellow, which makes rust inspection easy.
While I was at it, I also gave two body panels a quick spray to see what my plan would look like. I have to say I do like it!
