Paul.

Yep that's certainly what I've found, tip of the iceberg sort of thing.

I've now applied the first coat of primer, will get the other coat on later this afternoon. It already looks better, no visible rust on the outside now (although I know there is more rust along the bottom of the car which I might sort out later in the year if I'm with the car for a week or so).

Did the topcoat yesterday , I know it's not perfect but I think it looks alright at a distance, you can no longer see any visible rust unless you look underneath the car.

About to give it 2 coats of clear lacquer now, then waxoyl tomorrow.
