Gordan mate, those spots on the roof still need some more sanding.

I've got the same thing on my roof of my car. There is still rust there & it'll come back soon if you don't get rid of it entirely.

unless you used a rust convertor on theose spots. even then, I've taken all the spots on my roof right back to bare metal. Better to be safe than have a rusty roof again in a few years!

[16v_kid]

most of them are to the metal but you cant really see in the photo because of the contrast.

I put port 15 rust ready on it. So it should be all good.

Thanks.

finally a updated.

I folded Jarreds advice and sanding over the rust spots to bear metal. But this time i was using a sanding machine and decided to do everything again.
I think i did a good job, my old man said it was great and tomorrow were putting it in the garage to put some primer on it. After everything i put rust protection over the rust spots were.
Also i got some center caps for the steelies.

btw do you guys reckon im getting better at taking photos?

good job mate

[16v_kid]

UPDATE....

I put the car in the garage today, YES.

Took off the the front windscreen to repair the rust.

Also i took of the bonnet to get it ready for painting.

I found quite a lot of rust under the windscreen put only surface rust. But there was also parts which needed some attention.(photos explain)

Also took some photos of the tools i was using to grind the rust off.
I gridded most of the rust off. It wasn't a big deal.

I will need to weld some bits up as well.

Regards.
