Aye, she's a beauty, Lee! You've put in a few thousand hours there... I'm very slowly getting there with my now ex yb powered Viva! Cheers. Leigh.

Thanks Leigh - yes, I've put some hours in ! Hopefully it'll be worth it in the end 👍

Sorry Lee.....i just wondered if you could tell me what red oxide paint you used.....i dont have a ford...i wish..what ive got is a reliant kitten...trying my best with not a lot to slowly get it back on the road....im cleaning up the frame and wanted to red oxide it afterwards...many thanks in advance,steve

Hi Steve , it's Novol anti corrosion primer for classic cars . Its fantastic stuff - my shell had just 2 coats of this over bare metal and it stayed like this for nearly 6 years as I did the build with no surface rust 👍

[@StevenStratford]

@@Cossie.Mk1 great..was going to use oxide paint...Will look this up..see if it's available still..thank you

I’m so confused, you’ve already finished and posted the video of this finished?

[@Cossie.Mk1]

There was a fair bit of work to be completed underbonnet and also on the underside (trans , prop and exhaust tunnels etc) that I could only complete whilst the car was on a spit . This video covers that 👍.
