<div dir="ltr">Oh rusted bolts.. the joy. (Not!)</div>
<div dir="ltr">I’ll share with everyone some excellent penetrating oil. You can buy Kroil. Expensive but works. Or make your own. Equal parts of diesel fuel, brake fluid and acetone. Use a glass container or metal. Not plastic. Acetone will eat through plastic. </div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">I’ve heard another mixture of power steering fluid and acetone. It was a particular type of power steering fluid. I know it was on YouTube and should be easy enough to find and watch the test of various products. </div>
<div dir="ltr">I’ve had great success using my mixture. </div>
<div dir="ltr">Good luck. </div>
<div dir="ltr">You don’t want to break off the bolts and have to make a trip to a machine shop. (Been there)</div>

<div>Update:</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto"> Yes, I should have taken the bumpers off but the bolts are so rusted that they would have either broken or would have had to be sawed off. I chose the easier path since this a driver, not a 'correct' show car. </div>
<div dir="auto"> The paint color is incorrect but again, a driver. The color is GM Cobalt Red if applied as a two stage with extra clear. Subsequent dings and problems can now be touched up with paint from any autoparts store in the States.</div>
<div dir="auto"> The shop painted the underside of the bonnet and deck lids as well as inside the trunk. Door edges and jams are resprayed now too. They did not paint the engine bay. I want to do that myself, preserving labels, etc., and now can easily do
so.</div>
<div dir="auto"> I have not yet decided whether to spray the Kamm back satin black, or to leave it in red. I had them paint it red so I would have the choice. They did not paint below the lower chrome trim strip. I will respray that black. Same with the front
spoiler. It will also get resprayed black. Rubber bumper protrusions too. Same satin black.</div>
<div dir="auto"> I will not replace the British Leyland badges to the sides. British Leyland all but destroyed England's motorcar industry, like most things a government touches. I don't plan to replace their badges-of-failure on my car.</div>
<div dir="auto"> This car also had the TRIUMPH letters and stripe down the lower sides, just above the trim strip. It will not be replaced. I haven't decided whether to apply the flag and 'TR6' letters on the sides ahead of the tail lights. I can add those
at any time, if desired.</div>
<div dir="auto"> The car comes home tomorrow and reassembly will begin.</div>
