    I hate losing... So it's coming out!

    The previous owner fished a lot, and kept dunking the car into the ocean when he was dropping the boat off. Hence why my car had that surface corrosion across the whole underbody, so this being the way it is doesn't surprise me one bit. I don't think it's ever been out since being fitted by the dealer.

    Ummmmmmm.
    Ditch the lot.
    Paint only protects the outside.
    Who knows what the inside is like.

    Mate this one is stuck, real good. I had it soaking in Hydrochloric acid after it was soaked it phosphoric acid just to release the rust. Then heated it up to screaming hot, then hit it with some freeze release and had it under 12ton of pressure and it only move 5mm. If i though about it when i had it i should have cut the tounge off and chiseled the rest out.

    This is the message irish sent me when i asked and he swears by it...

    50% acetone, 50% auto transmission fluid mate, put em in a cheap spray bottle, mix together and spray liberally, leave overnight if you can and make sure you don't get it on any paintwork.

    Yeah I know of that mix. I didn't have any acetone on hand when I had the bar...It works well though, but its just that little bit too thick and wouldn't run down to where it needs to go. Even CRC was too thick. I had 12T of pressure on it and the bottom support plate of the Press was starting to bow. Lol

    I've opened up the sides now plenty of room to shove liquid in there. Acetone and oil it is.
