Wax Oiled !

Forgot to mention ! the boot had been covered in wax oil ! it was a bastard to get off !! think they used over a gallon on it about twenty years ago ! it didnt stop the rust lol ! but made it harder to remove the paint . i was shitting myself incase any bit was left and it made the paint react ! but it didnt . Praise the lord

[johnylock]

not finished yet !

im going to wait till the whole cars been painted ! then i will flat and polish the boot ! make it nice and shiney so it pops when you open the boot lid !
