Rough sand and rust converter on the cab floor today, the only bad spots were where water was sitting in the foot well but new door seals should prevent this happening again - it's been a few weeks and no leaks in the rain.

Now I was going to give it some zinc rust inhibitor primer, but will that make any difference over the rust converter ? I'll give it a white enamel cover either way.

Is there a secret to cleaning the cab floor mats ? The dirt is really ingrained in the rubber :(

Sprayed a few sections of the floor with gloss enamel, looks good, hopefully it keeps the rust permanently sealed... Or at least a few years till I have to go beck and treat it again.

I think I'm going to put a full layer of 10mm self adhesive closed cell foam over the floor because driving a diesel transit is so much louder than my everyday car. Has anyone relined their floors for noise cancelling ?

Ned it happens too often to be accidental and command sympathy, a walk will do you good :lol:

I'm running half marathon tomorrow which includes swimming in a lake /big pond then Sunday I'm running a 5 mile road race up new Brighton.

On purpose :lol:

I know I was just being optimistic about getting to the fuel station, got blown to buggery walking down the redneck roads, no bloody farmers about to "borrow" some fuel from.

It'll be more then a lake if this rain carries on, your a brave man running in the wind n rain, I tip my hat to you good sir.

Anyway did you just call me fat :shock: :lol: :lol:
