As usual a job that you think will be straight forward turns into a major one.

Nice and sunny so i thought i would get some paintwork done, wrong !

Crumbs Nick that looks like a difficult repair. I am trying to get my head round that picture taken from inside? Is that two different bits of metal on the C post that are rotten with a gap between them?

I am hoping that it is just the outer skin that has gone, the inner pictures shows the reinforcement for the rear window which I hope is ok. Hope to get the grinder out this week to find out. Exclamation

Having seen what other people get up to it is a small job, but it does give me encouragement having read some of the posts of restorations done, particualy the two Fiat 500s which were/are brilliant.

Will post some more pictures next week, need a dry day as I have to do the repair outside.

Nick
