Grunt what do u use when you have striped to bare metal to stop surface rust ?

How cool is that..... Thanks for those pictures.

What year where those pictures taken?

They were taken in 1984, I didnt realize how rare it was, also didnt have the vents behind the doors so must have been one of the last.

It was a factory 253 4 speed and had it for about 4 years, I loved it but sold it in good condition so it could still be alive.....?

After stripping I try to get the items in spray straight away, so after sanding they are throughly washed down with prepsol, dried and primed. On the odd accasion I can spray straight away I use KBS Rust blast
