Dave I think it would be extremely beneficial for you to talk us through your methods step by step e.g. prepping rusty bits, de-rusting them and then painting them - with what you use and how long it takes.
Especially with the likes of the underneath, did you just use a cloth and white spirit to clean it up? had it been undersealed? I know you're a busy man, but I'd love to know

Then maybe you could have a little Dave following who use your methods to make everything look super. Because I imagine it's must cheaper than getting stuff powdercoated etc!

Ben, when I have some spare time I will have to write a guide. Any questions in the meantime just ask :thumbsup:

And yes, it is a powerfile I use to de-rust, swear by it! :lol:

Another update

Managed to get some more done today. First job was to take the fuel tank off, was a bit of a pain as it was about 3/4 full, had to carefully pour the contents into a 5 litre can one at a time, although on the plus side, my fiesta and the generator are now both full of v-power :lol:

After removing the tank I finished cleaning the underneath, very messy and annoying job but looks loads better now so it was worth the effort. Next job is to clean up any bits of rust underneath, paint, then re-fit everything

Underside fully cleaned:

Thanks mate

Have you looked into renting a garage? Well worth it. I would have no chance doing all this without!

Another update

Spent another few hours down at the garage yesterday. Got the fule filler pipe off and handbrake cable (both going to be replaced with new), then cleaned up the rear arches, then started the de-rusting and painting of the underside

Will let the pics tell the story:
