My 1974 csi project

Okay so today I just sprayed the floor with stone chip .before that I cut out lots of rust !
And welded in lots and lots of new metal.
I then scraped off all of the old under seal , I then used wire brush heads in my grinder to clean away any surface rust , then applied 2 coats of hydrate 80 rust converter, then put on 3 coats of isopon zinc primer then 3 coats of hamerite smooth paint then 1 coat of stone chip paint , there’s so much product on the underneath of her now that I think it would probably float if I ever drove her into a flood
I don’t think I’d risk that though !
Here’s some pics of the progress so far .
