Hi everyone,
Started today to remove some undercoating in the rear wheel arches, see picture...  When using a (blunt) chisel is comes of rather easily. Any advise on removing it in the corners of the arches…? Especially in the rear it is almost impossible to reach the far corners... I also found the foam in the rear of the panels near the rear lights (yellow circle). With a hook I'm picking it out. Any tips on doing this more easily…?  Till now I did not find any rust. The car is from 12/73 and 1.8 L-jet in olympic blue. |

Purchase this from HF, extended angle grinder and a wire brush wheel, cut the 1/4 stud off the wheel and drill hole to fit grinder. I did my entire exterior floor and inner fenders in four hours. Best, Mark

I don't know that I've ever seen that tool in a HF store but I'll be looking next time! Just be sure to wear a face shield. Spinning a wire wheel at air tool speeds can shed those wires as very dangerous little projectiles. |
