Fixing a rust patch

[lolsteve]

I didn't think these suffered rot from around there, id have just done away with the Ariel and put an internal one in, under the head lining.

They normally dont, but the aerial base wasn't put in properly when it left factory i think so it collected water under there and rotted from inside out
Just feel the smooth look isn't for me, just want it looking standard for if I ever need to sell on so dont have to explain why there isn't an aerial

Good shout tbh.


I reckon it will be back to haunt you though. Still needed a but chopping out IMO.

Maybe so but if it does come back in a year or so I'll hopefully have a decent paying job by then to actually pay someone to do it properly or have a garage which I can spend some time working on it

Just sprayed some paint on after leaving the primer to dry overnight and a quick 600grit rub to help the paint bond. Despite it being a halfords blend it looks like it matches pretty well
