After replacing the boot floor on my last disco I thought it may be prudentto get in there before the tin worms do on the latest disco ( "98" 300tdies ). After removing the carpets etc I found to my horror I was too late itwas already rusting on all seams,badly in places fortunately no holes thoughso much scraping, sanding, wire brushing later it was ready for the coats ofhammerite. While removing the rust I noticed that there was a lack ofprimmer under the top coat and therefore the topcoat being prone to chippingand flaking. Is this the case on all disco's? or have I got a Fridayafternoon one. You think for a motor knocking on the door of 30k they mightof been able to splash out on some primer!Anyway moan over if you haven't checked yours yet I would recommend itirrespective of age.
