Having suffered from a minor radiator leak last summer, I have decided to have the existing radiator repaired if possible, or re-cored, rather than replaced with a new one.  The radiator has a few stone damaged areas -  this is the worst.  With the radiator removed I decided to check the front chassis / side panels for condition.  The rest I'll check later as I work steadily towards the rear.

There were a few areas where the chassis paint had 'bubbled', but only surface corrosion underneath.  The chassis has a generous coating of Waxoyle applied by the previous owners, although moisture has obviously managed to get underneath, presumably from the two previous radiator leaks recorded in the history file.  I'll rub down and repaint these areas before re-applying some new Waxoyle.   

The front tube behind the fan has surface corrosion where the fan body has rubbed against the tube.  Again rub down, repaint and Waxoyle.

The side panels have a little electrolytic corrosion where they meet the chassis.  Some road dirt and dust had built up between the side panels and the chassis rails, but was easily removed with an old toothbrush!  

The battery tray also needs a little refurbishment as well.
