Jim, our restoration guru, noticed a couple of areas of bubbling paint which on closer inspection showed some rot. This is the front left hand lower area, this is where the front deformation panel meets the body. The rot is on the body and it has spread behind the deformation panel so he had to cut them off and remake.
Like so
Another small repair to the rear, a common rot spot as the A post is right next to the bodywork and it seamsealed so as soon as it cracks moisture seeps in and this is what happens
Rot cut out, post cleaned and treated as required then sprayed with a zinc rich primer for protection
And on the other side its just the same
The rusty area is the A post, the extent is quite clear, again all cleaned, treated and zinc primed
New area all welded
