I also have a grinder - great tool but a bit too ferocious for some jobs. As said, the genuine cutting discs on a Dremmel are great for cutting...
Great tools if you've never had one before. You can get cheaper knock offs (I have a Homebase one as a spare), but the real Dremels are better....
I did half my metal gates with a tin of the Aldi black metal paint. Seemed thin and difficult to apply. Changed to the aerosols and what a...
You can get good quality masks for around £20 that are ok for short, limited use with 2k paints, so they should be fine with non iso epoxy primer...
I started painting our steel gates in Aldi metal paint from a can. Stirred it plenty but it still looked 'watery' and was taking ages to put on. I...
When I've done bigish stuff in citric acid I've just done it half at a time. I have a plastic kitchen bin that I use. Those shallow plastic boxes...
Bit late to the party, but for smaller areas the best thing for paint and rust removal that I have used is a Black and Decker powerfile. Around...
Like the OP, I started with Deox C and then moved on to using citric acid (cheap on ebay). I must admit, I felt like the Deox C worked a bit...
We are in a similar position. We had to remove some parts on our old Saab restoration and ended up tearing an air con pipe. I am assuming it is...
We were due to fly to Mallorca on one after the accident. I was pretty worried and was very relieved when the UK eventually grounded them. We got...
We did similar repairs on our Saab 900 project. We used Bilt Hamber Electrox, which is a high zinc primer. Then seam sealed the edge of the patch,...
When I stripped a cast iron fireplace, I painted it in a stove paint from B and Q. Came out well and has lasted a few years without flaking. [ATTACH]
Saabs can do huge mileages. My 900 T16S project has 260k on the clock. It had been sat outside in the Saab indy garage yard for a couple of years,...
We had to do a bit of welding, as you can see, so removed any rust or flaking paint or underseal with a B and D power file. I then scrubbed out...
It's a 1992 Saab 900 turbo 16S. 260k miles on the clock lol. It needs a few minor things, but the clutch is the main issue. It's been fun, but I...
We did our Saab 900 resto wheel arches in Gravitex. It was easy to spray with a 24litre Aldi compressor and can be over-painted. Bilt Hamber stuff...
Still got the Saab. If I had known how much work it needed I wouldn't have bought it. It sits on the drive, mocking me. Some good news though -...
Fantastic work. Inspiring stuff for those of us with projects still to finish.
JLR received a €125 million grant from the Slovakian government to move to Slovakia. As Slovakia is a net recipient of EU funds, this is...
Any photos of before and after stuff that you guys have cleaned up in these? Are they any good for small rusty car parts? I usually use Deox C or...
