Quick update on the strut - wire wheel drill bit = paint stripped in less than an hour
Draper Redline multi-tool - broke in 5 mins and was so powerful you could actually stop it with your fingers.
Halfords multi-tool = broke in 5 mins - burnt out..........back to the shop it goes. Basically for anyone who was wondering - a Dremel is expensive but basically isn't going to fall to bits the first time you use it
Strut end bits have been rubbed down, primed, Ford Panther Black base coat, Purple Flip over coat.
I'll take the strut through the various sanding grades tomorrow then get laquering!
