BLASTING INNER EDGES OF WHEEL ARCH LIP (14/05/2026)

THE BLASTING FOCUSSED MAINLY ON FLOOR SECTIONS , ESPECIALLY AROUND

SEAT BELT AND JACKING MOUNTS, BUT ALSO CONCENTRATED ON THE WHEEL ARCHES.

OUR BLASTER WAS ABLE TO CONTAIN THE BLAST MEDIA TO FOCUS ON MOSTLY THE

INNER EDGES. THE RUST CLEANED OF THESE AREAS VERY NICELY, AND NO HOLES

WERE FOUND.

THE PROJECT IN APRIL. WAS DECIDED THE BEST APPROACH WAS TO GET

SOME TARGETTED SAND BLASTING, TO HELP FULLY EXPOSE THESE PROBLEM

AREAS. ALSO, A CATCH-UP ON ROUTINE SERVICING NEEDED. TIRED SHOCKS

AND SPRINGS, CLUTCH FLUID ESPECIALLY VERY DECAYED, AND GENERAL

LUBRICANTS TO GEARBOX, DIFF ETC DUE FOR A CHANGE.
