Rusting it out. It's going to be a rat rod!

[GuestGuest]

Got some......erm......intersting lookd of everyone going past. Actually looks much cooler in reality than in the pics, almost tempted to do my big Volvo lol!

What happened when Debbie found out.....or is it just me and you going to Knightcon now LOL!

[J-Knight]

She was reluctant. It's currently laying under a mountain of road salt to help it along!

[GuestGuest]

LOL.....seriously, has it not started to orange yet, must be the only Citreon that wont rust lol!

[J-Knight]

It's going now mate. You'll see if you come down when I'm welding!

[GuestGuest]

LOL....will get over asap, want to see how your getting on....in the middle of girl issues now argh!

[Newcastle knight]

ha ha, rat rod citroen, why the hell not. Loving the firebird badge on the bonnet though

How long can you leave it like though before it eats through properly

[pbryant_knight]

Is it gonna have a supercharged V8 engine in it or something.

[jasper1978]

if you want toget somemserious rust to it, there is a kind of acid which does that. cant remember the name of it, but if you google it, something will come up...

[J-Knight]

Scott I've no idea, there are ways to preserve it according to the Internet. Such as lacquering over it before it gets really bad, and someone found spraying wd40 over it worked too.

Peter, is it hell. I'm just having some fun with it

Jasper, road salt worked a treat lol

[pbryant_knight]

It can't e a proper rat rod unless it looks like shit AND is faster than anything around.

[J-Knight]

I realise this. It's a loosely used phrase.

[Whicher]

Forgive me, I'm an idiot... What the hell is a rat rod??? Lol

[GuestGuest]

[J-Knight]

I'm in the middle of a mega upload at the moment uploading a video of the stunt show I was at yesterday. Once that's done I'll grab a progress pic. Alastair are you any good at graffiti? Haha!

[GuestGuest]

OOOOOHHHHH....I can do a "Roadrunner" head lol!

Pretty sure if you park it outside mine with a sign saying "graffiti my car for free"....you'll get some cracking art done on it

[J-Knight]

I think I need more rust areas. Got more plans for it but here's the orange coming through.

Get some light brown/orange paint mate and water it down Then brush it over the metal areas and it'll look like rust

[GuestGuest]

Amazing.....thats like a week that cars had bare metal....had coke, salt and water poured over it and its only JUST starting to show signs of rusting!!!!!!! You sure thats not got a molecular bonded shell lol!

[J-Knight]

Some of the bare metal still has a layer of galvanisation on it. Basically didn't sand the bare metal for long enough. Ha! Can break it more when I get home.
