New mudflaps & buzzweld the cross member.

Decided my cross member was looking a bit shoddy after 18 months or so I last did it. Tried something new to me, buzzweld.

Sanded down, pre paint, rust encapsulater then top coat.

Then I took ages deciding on what new mudflaps, wasn't sure even when ordered, but having fitted then I like them. First time using a Rivnut tool and drilling out old brackets a phaff but pleased with overall results. New galvanized brackets on front, re used rears but sanded, rust proofed and top coat.

Looks good. I would have expected more masking required, did you not get any overspray, or does it brush on?

I had more than shown but took some off before picture,

It sprays on and it quite easy to get in the right place if that makes sense.

18 months ago I didn't sand back to metal.

Just lightly sanded, etch primer and then a car spray paint top coat. Don't get me wrong walking upto it I could have left it but round the holes was starting to blister.

I thought with the new flaps...why not smarten it up 👍
