Removing Paint and Rust

In the 1st installment of our Restoration 101 series we have a Jaguar 150 OTS door, which for it's age looks great! We have to start by removing the paint to see the story of the door. We used 2 different types of paint stripper seeing which one worked best. Once we found one to be better we used it to remove the paint on the entire door. After the paint is removed I like to use a brillo pad and lacquer thinner to remove any remaining paint. Now that the door has been cleaned we see a few spots with bondo on it. This is never a good sign. I gently remove the bondo using a heat gun and putty knife. Unfortunately in 2 spots we notice the bondo was used to fill rot holes. Now that everything is removed it is time to immerse the door in a tub of Rust 911 solution for roughly two days. I can't wait to see how it comes out!
