Got the bumper off eventually after having problems with knackered bolts and a few snapped mounts....

Anyway here are the pics.....







All the bumper off and found some surface rust so got the wire wheel out with the drill and got all that off back to decent metal.....

Got the degreaser out and cleaned off all the waxoil which was painted on all over behind where the bumper was which took ages......

Looks alot better now and can now see exactly what needs doing now to sort any problem area's out.....







Going to sand all this down and finish sorting the underneath and underseal/stonechip then primer up......

Next is to strip all the arches out, rear subframe etc and rub all this down underseal/stonechip and primer up.......

Finished grinding all the rust back to decent metal and then primered it up to prevent any rust coming back today.





Starting taking the rear brakes apart to paint up and renew any bits which are needed.
Discs have only done a few hundred mile so going to clean them up and paint them.
