Cut the rust out from behind my rear wheels on the '79 today, replaced it with some *thank god* new metal. All is good, now i have some dodgy bog work to do now.. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub..._DIR#>/dry.png *shhh* Then I sell it, then I buy myself a smick '84/'85. Ask drifter about my rust problem :( it's bad.. :P I will hopefully soon have some pictures for you all aswell..

rust sucks!

Not wrong. Atleast my rust doesn't show SO much anymore..i have to be rude.. and look for unsuspecting buyers. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R

haha.. shhh... your not suppose to publicly announce that type of thing. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/happy.png



I'm currently in the process of taking my angle grinder to by roof and boot and engine bay area in an attempt to remove the rusty metal, so that next week I can weld it all up with some new metal. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

Cool.Let us know how it goes drifter. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/tongue.png

Yeah, I got a quote for some sheetmetal yesterday from a scrap yard, AUS$18 for 1.2m X 2.4m X 1mm thick. SHould be perfect for my boot and roof. Its really worrying taking a cutting disc on an angle grinder to your roof. I have to keep reassuring myself that its ok, and that it will all be better in the long run. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/blush.png

https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/unsure.png ? Your cutting the roof?Are you Filling the spot where the sunroof is? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/unsure.png

No no, The bits of roof around the sunroof are full of rust, so I have to replace the surround metal.
