hello guys , new to forum and mercedes after owning saabs for years ,
my new merc is 1999 and the wheels arches are going rust wise and rear boot lock , and lower front bonnet as well as stone chips that previous owner never took care off and little bits at edges of door bottoms and bonnet pillars etc .
This hasnt put me off the car , i am going to repair it by myself , i have no workshop and will be using rattle cans i will keep the thread updated as well as show pics before and after ,
for the rust issue i will grind as much as possible away then kill any remaining with bilt hamber hydrate 80 , this will be primed with bilt hamber electrox a very high zinc content primer , then top coated with proffetional mixed rattle cans , not halfruads specials
i hope that there is some interest in this and some of you will find it interesting.
Oh the car will then have all inside arches wings doors etc rust proofed with dynax
and no i dont work for bilt hamber , but there products are superb !
