Oil cooler

Needed to clean up the oil cooler. Wasn't going to be able to reach all the rust of course.It started to look good.

But then disaster as I went through some of the metal.
As you can see the hole is clearly visible. With possibly more holes to be uncovered, I'm not sure its worth the time and effort to repair this. At around £65 these aren't cheap.

Charging the battery

Got the original battery that came with the car. Not sure if it will hold much of a charge anymore.
Only one way to find out.
Got an old charger and hooked it up. Will probably need a new battery but its worth a try.

Kurust

So this is what I'm using on the tinware to stop the spread of rust.

No matter how much you try you can never remove all the rust. Unless that is, you want to start cutting bits out and welding in new bits.
