Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    Not really a DYI job there unless you have fabricator skills, thats more of a cut out and replace job

    You would be talking more than would be worth spending on the car by the looks.

    The rust doesn't appear to be that bad from the pics so I would give it a shot using my below suggestions but if it is rusted through you would need to use isopon fibreglass filler and regular bondo filler and would be beyond most people

    To do a job to just to stop it rusting through sand it back to bare metal and use rust remover on it, then spray prime it, wet sand it with 2,500 grit sandpaper and prime again, apply 2 coats of paint and then a coat of clear coat.

    Any motor factors will be able to advise on the best products and give you paint that will match.

    Load of videos on YouTube that will help you, paint society is a good channel where he has sprayed whole cars using rattle cans

    Edit, watch this video will show you everything

    Cheers for that. Yeah, ideally I was hoping to tackle it myself. I'm not that interested in getting perfect results, more just to stop the rot.

    Easy job then man, just do what I described above and use the YouTube video for help.

    Main thing is you get it back to bare metal and use some sort of rust treatment which any local place should be able to provide you with and help on how to apply
