I second the other reply about the grinder with wire wheels. They are <br>
great at removing paint and bondo. I used a cupped wire wheel inside my <br>
TR6 engine compartment when I had the engine out and it quickly and <br>
easily got down to bare metal. This setup is far superior in most cases <br>
to a wire wheel in a drill.<br>
