[Matt-Rallye]

Whilst you've got all that lot off, have a damn good look around/poke about.

The fuel tank area on my Rallye had the beginnings of rust, and mines been looked after. Surface rust where the top of the tank had been rubbing, and a lot of surface rust around the edges of the tank recess.

Bump stops and the openings behind them are proper rust traps too. A pig to get at with the beam in place as well, so give them some love.

Last bit would be to look at the edges of your sills and take the time to straighten them out where its been trolley jacked in the wrong place. Did it on mine. Bit fiddly, frustrating and time consuming but definitely well worth it.

Depends how far you want to go on it really. Not sure if you've seen my project thread but I bare metalled the whole of the underside of mine.

Thanks for the hints and tips your project thread has been an inspiration (and im a fan of kerrys old car!)

Ive forgotten my camera lead but will update with plenty of pics tomorrow

Also the plan underneath the car (and to steal a cool idea from the rallying boys) is to paint the entire underside in brilliant white Shows any and every imperfection as soon as it appears! Will also be doing a few subtle upgrades and re-designs of the underside of the car over the standard items, already noticed a lot of bits that could easily be improved!
