Rust Proofing the Gutters

This past weekend I decided to rust proof Percy's roof gutters with some Rust Bullet.

First I had to clean them with a wire brush wheel attached to my drill.



I also cleaned up some surface rust that was on the roof.



I also decided to grind away the "Mini Cooper" sticker. Percy is just a Mini. Mini "Coopers" were Minis that were hopped up by John Cooper. They came with engine mods for more performance. The original "Coopers" go for big bucks nowadays.



Going...going...



Gone!



I then removed the left rear quarter window.



Then the left rear body seam cover. The body seam is in good shape with just some surface rust.



The seam cover is in good shape too.



I'll have to get new clips. These hold the seam cover on the seam. These are pretty nasty.



I found a hole at the bottom of the left rear quarter window. I'll have to weld in some new metal sometime soon.



Here's the first coat of Rust Bullet on the roof gutter.



Rust Bullet requires two coats with about two hours of drying time inbetween. So we decided to play darts.



Nikki and I played cricket. We are training Eugie to be the score keeper.



I scored a bullseye!



Nikki scored one too. She won the game!



Of course darts make us thirsty.



Here is Percy with the second coat of Rust Bullet. All done for now.
