Lots more pics, every bit of rust has now been cut out and replaced, i am confident we now have a rust free shell. the welding guy and i have crawled all over the car and cant find any more Brown stuff. All the panels are spot on,all inner wings,etc are free of it.

Thanks for the comments, I was gonna waxoyl with the starter kit but after doing
Some research on the net it seems the kit is crap, what do we think using Dinitrol
Cavity wax.
It's for the inner cills.
