Shake well before each use and keep sealed when not in use to prevent the acetone evaporating. Once shaken it goes pink and frothy, dribble, pour, brush or spray it on to the rusted fastener and leave to soak a few minutes if you can get a spanner on it, in the case of a sheared stud, you may need something like : https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/163095214936 Worth its weight in gold, the harder you work it, the harder it grips and works for you. Have even used it with a windy gun (it's rated for that) and the siezed studs stood no chance! If you go down the stud remover route, don't be tempted by cheaper ones, even the same brand as they don't work anywhere near as well. Also once the WMP has done its work, degrease what you can see of the stud with some acetone or similar before fitting the stud remover. Be careful if you use heat as there are lots of rubber hoses and wiring around there that aren't obviously visible - don't want to make matters worse!

So things have been rather busy here but I'm planning on starting this little project at the start of next month.
I'm also planning on making jacking points as per this one here... https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showp...&postcount=119 |

I might be interested in some jacking points Luke and quite likely having them fitted - the previous owner seems to have ued the factory jack to change wheels living on a very steep hill - you can guess the rest!
There still solid just a funny shape.......................

Battery clamps that are not a pain to fit would be good

As you know, still waiting on the card company but don't see why we couldn't do a round-robin or something along those lines.

So I took advantage of the dry weather and replaced the battery tray and wheel arch bit. Took me all week / 5 days of afternoons and some evenings.
Previously the wing had a hole in the typical place infront of the wheel arch and I have used a spare wing with the same problem, welded it up and got it sprayed during some accident damage repair. Unfortunately the same hole has lead to some problems in the inner guard around where the bumper side support fits, and there are some complex bumps and curves there. Basically the entire corner of the inner wing needed replaced about 3" in. In the end I just did multiple small patches to rebuilt the front corner of the inner wing, up to the square holes for the press-in nut clip things for the wing and bumper mount. I opted for the full tray replacement and large section of the inner arch, but I think a cut in the right place of the tray might have been easier. The spots come out easy enough if you are precise about it, but it does add a load of time. There are 17 not including the rusted out portion at the inner arch corner. If you are going to try and spray in there you need a nice small gun, with gavity/top feed. Thats next on my xmas list. I also got my newly sprayed skuttle on to match the new bonnet and wings. Hopefully thats its for now, although the horn doesn't work, must have damaged something during the work. Sorry no photos, just too much work and too bad workmanship to show lol. Next .. rear jacking point. |

All of the jigs are sorted for the rear jacking points now and the first one is almost done, just need to get a 14mm hole saw to cut the hole out for the bar to go across and weld it in. Once that's done and I'm happy with the final product (I'm very happy with how it looks now) then they can be made to order. |
