On with the strip down. The good news is there is very little rust,
The bad news is the truck has clearly been strafed down the passenger side and has been repaired using tons of filler,
I chipped this out of the cab corner, it would have been so easy to knock out there's really no excuse for using this much "bodge".
I normally have panels media blasted before paint, however, I have recently bought this paint stripper,
If paint stripper could be "weaponised" this would be it. It's clearly no good for the environment, dolphins (or people come to that) but it's also not good for paint, one coat had the fender down to bare metal.
I'll strip the fender and door and decide where to go from there, but I suspect there will be a replacement door in my future somewhere.
