Some under arch scrubbing and snow foaming done using Meguiars APC, this stuff foams up so bloody well its ridiculous and it wasn't even a strong mix rate. I shall get some more pictures of the truck snow foamed on the weekend maybe as I only took a couple of snaps.

Small update, managed to find a clean chrome bumper and some chrome door handles for "Wabi-Sabi". Have already removed the old front bumper and started to clean up the corrosion on the inside of the chrome bumper. Shall get lots more pics up tomorrow. Found some nasties while I was there but nothing too severe.

Some more pictures of the bumper clean up. There was plenty of corrosion on the inside of the bumper so this was all sanded down and them painted with Rust converter gel three times. This was then rinsed off and wire brushed, cleaned once more and the bumper masked up to be primered using Wurth Rust Proofing Primer.

I then gave the inside of the bumper a coat of Simmoniz black tough coat for good measure after 3 Coates of primer (forgot photos). The face of the chrome bumper has 2 dents/creases in it which I removed as best I could and they for the most part came out nicely. Shall get some pictures up of them flattened.

After that I waited for the paint to be touch dry and in the mean time went about finishing the removal of the rear bars behind the cab rear window. Still some grinding to be done but getting there.

FRONT BUMPER ON :

The front valance still needs to go back on but shall wait till new clips arrive before it goes back on. Also I noticed to of the corner bumper mounting brackets and hangers are shot so these shall need replacing but for now all is good.
Thanks for looking :)

Front valance back on, cable tied mind you!. The front end shall be all coming apart soon so no point to use new clips for now. She took us to sligo last Sunday (to collect a bike for a friend) without a hitch.
One thing that needs changing sooner than later is the fuel level sender as it's on its way out but I shall be making do until it's time for the rear tub to come off for chassis paint etc.
