Fish oil be my favourite.
Waxoyl doesn't get as far in as needed from the rear arch inner entry. The Wakoyl spray tins I bought didn't have the penetration into the beam that I wanted.
The fish oil is perfect & has done my bus well for lots of years. In heat areas just apply more frequently. The temp helps it penetrate more.
Cheers

 

Awesome work Brian. Great to see proper metal resurrection.
A question if I may... Welding panels... TIG or MIG?

 

Cheers still have a some final
Metal work in engine bay but it's getting there , All the welding done with a MIG

 

It's finally all in primer still needs final bodywork touch up but onto running gear and under body first then doors etc still a very long way to go but happy enough with the progress so far

 

Cheers Brian. Have been interested in finding out what people prefer to use for welding bodywork lately. I've only ever used MIG and oxy before but lately have been looking at the advantages of TIG.

 

Ive never used TIG but something I want to try and learn a bit more about like yourself have used both oxy and MIG

 

Haven't updated in a while but have been plodding along with some more rust repairs and under body protection.... spoiler alert for the new colour selection
Have all the major rust repairs done now just a few bits inside the roof

 

You have done that, turquoise is the new orange LTC

 

My Mrs got the final colour choice I guessed it was good plan to let her pick colour so I can keep the boxes and boxes of parts coming

 

Can’t go wrong in the blue spectrum of the colour wheel….

 

That it be the boxes of money leaving
Nice undercarriage , good to see colour, instead of the black

 

Have also been gathering parts for my engine rebuild so now they engine bay is almost finished I'll be making a start on the mechanics its getting a full rebuild, upgrade Camshaft & sticking fuel injection on it

I know it's not technically keeping it original but a little more power and reliability is what I'm hoping for
