Started a bit late today, ground down all the rust with a 6″ course grind wheel on a drill.\u00a0 An angle grinder or some such probably would have been better as while the drill was far more maneuverable, it was shaking hell out of my hands.\u00a0 That matters when you are doing several hours of that crap.<\/p>\n
I’ve also removed the radiator hoses on the loop leading to the passenger front and passenger back heaters.\u00a0 Didn’t like the fluids one bit, more on that in a following post.<\/p>\n
After sweeping and using compressed air to clean out all the debris, I used a strong solution of TSP in hot water and a scrub bush to work my way across each panel, spraying and scrubbing.\u00a0 After that ordeal, I used remaining solution to spray over the entire floor and some spots I wanted to insure were clean.\u00a0 This was soon followed up with hosing out the bus with a spray nozzle several times until I was satisfied.\u00a0 Remaining standing water was swept out, fan was put in on high to help it all evaporate one more time.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
