It wouldn’t be an MX5 without a copious amount of rust repair rolls eyes
Unfortunately another mundane update, but I guess it’s one of those job’s that needs doing regardless.
So I started with removing the tail lights and bumper.
With the support/crash bar removed I was met with the corrosion that gets spoken of. It was surprising how much was behind the bar itself.
A new wire wheel drill attachement made easy work of the surface corrosion
I gave the rusty areas a coating of Hammerite Kurust, followed by etch and zinc primer.
Once that was dry and ready I applied 2 coats of Galaxy Grey and 2 coats of clear lacquer.
The support bar received the same treatment, but instead of the body colour grey I used Simoniz tough paint
It’s a shame its hidden behind the bumper, but at least it’s done and I shouldn’t have to worry for quite some time.
