Sedimenter will be getting a clean tomorrow then, will need to wait and get some new seals before it goes back on though. Ha Bump what type of tyres are you selling, i'm half interested.

Bit of an update, After blowing up a drill, dropping the tank, removing the centre boot panel, chopping away the rust on the wheel, side panel and the next panel up, she now looks like this. Oh and I roughly sanded down the chassis. I then couldn't resist having a poke at some...

F*ck me my brain is fried, taken me two evenings to read this thread and get up to speed on the Hornet! Amazing work you're doing man, really inspirational. Got some serious skills in the innovation and DIY department, you can pretty much make anything with that welder and some steel lol. Keep...

Thanks Mr Noisy, much appreciated. Was hoping to get the boot panel out today but i've just blown my drill up halfway through drilling the spot welds! Grrr. Hopefully have it out tomorrow so i can see if the edges are ok (fingers crossed).

Cheers guys. Will get it sorted after i've put the back half of the car back together. Really should have poked harder before buying the little bugger haha.

Thanks mate, will be purchasing one tomorrow then! I'm half tempted to chequer plate it like what Mr Noisy has done but i'm still undecided. Either way the main panel needs to come out so i have something to be getting on with while i make my mind up.

Hi Mr Noisy, I've been digging around and read that you did your boot floor with chequer plate. Thankfully I also stumbled across your post about the crap quality of mps 4x4 panels. Would you be able to give me any tips / do's and don'ts on how you did it please? Any info what so ever would be...

Thanks for the info guys, looks like i'll be ordering panels later on. Think i'll do it anyway but did you drop your tank when doing the work?

I was doing a steady 65 the other day and when I eased off the throttle the vehicle felt like it wanted to swerve to the left. It felt like it was caused by something at the rear but could be mistaken. Wondered if anyone could point me in a direction of how to solve this issue? Its parlty...

So then after a day of whacking, unbolting and wire brushing things it turns out one hole in my boot floor has now turned in several! Any advice people? The biggest thing i'm concerned about is the hole on the next panel up (best seen on the last photo). Thats where...

Haha apologies on the punctuation gents english was never my strongest subject. big si that was an error on my part, should say, 'acquired' haha. Nah i'm actually from Dronfield but i put Sheffield as i was in a rush, will change it now!

Ha just had a read through there mate, at least you got it fixed though eh. I've just managed to poke a nice hole through my floor with the hover today!! Only got it a couple of days ago! Will attack it with the wire brush tomorrow to see how bad it really is. Where a bouts in Sheff you from?

Haha cheers for the heads up, ill have a browse at my own risk.

Does anyone know where i can purchase a decent/cheap boot floor panel? Quick search on ebay is saying 65quid inc p&p don't really know if this is a decent price though. Cheers for the advice though guys.

Thanks for the suggestions guys, was half thinking about side steps as i nearly clipped my other car just pulling out of the drive! Definitely considering removing the towing hitch and changing both bumpers to. Tyres are on the list but will have to wait until i get the funds! Looked at the...

Hi mate, in the same position as you. Be good to see your progress.

Right then, plan for tomorrow is to see what i'm really dealing with. get the back seats out and cover the drive in rust :D Good job i'm off untill the 6th now!
