Wipe petrol all over several times with a rag, scraper and chisel. Then go over it with a wire wheel.

The petrol helps soften it up and make it more peelable.

I find the strip and clean discs for angle grinder very good for cleaning rust and paint from metal, but would use a scraper on the thicker under sealed areas.

Seems everybody has there own opinion on this . Im going to try a wire wheel on the stone chip and a sanding flap wheel on the painted parts or one of these



Ive decided to take the gearbox out before i start so on the look out for a transmission jack .
