Sounds like good stuff. The fiberglass is a good idea. I think the Hammered contains something similar to convert the rust. It's much better...
The permanent repairs mentioned above would certainly be the best way to go. But for daily drivers I have had good results removing the loose...
Thankyou for the reply. It helps knowing other trucks have the same problem. I think the problem is a combination of having two cylinders on...
Did you ever find the problem? I am having a similar problem with my 71 Hilux. My brakes would only work after pumping about 5 times. I also...
Seems I was a little hasty in my evaluation of the brakes. I think only one of them was actually working. One of the fronts was leaking so the...

Vehicles in general can be a real pain. Sure beats walking though :)
Thankyou for the encouragement! Performance in an electric can be pretty good. For instance my Ninja had pretty good acceleration considering it...
