Cleaning Sanding and Blasting the floorpan


After testing the floor pan halves I started cleaning everything. First I used a wire brush with the angle grinder to remove most of the dirt and paint. With an orbital sander I removed almost all of the paint and rust. I removed the remaining rust with the sandblaster.

The hard work resulted in some nice clean metal. No welding was needed. The same day I sprayed zinc spray to protect it from corroding again.

I bet the sandblaster made things easier!
