Title: Let the restoration begin!
Post by: DerKommissar on November 05, 2020, 10:41:12 PM
So I've finally started addessing some of the little rust spots. The first, and worst is the blank wiper bung. I swear it was getting worse each week. And my god it was a pain to remove the bung! Lots of grinding with the dremel, and now some Fertan rust treatment on it. I've had to cover it with a little bin bag tent tonight. Hopefully it'll be ok over night and all being well I can prime it.

It's a bit keyhole surgery with the windscreen seal. Again, this is the worst spot on the car. The rest ammounts to a few little surface spots with no bubbling, to a little bit of bubbling at the bottom of the doors.  :D

Looks like you caught the bung in time, can spread under the window trim and become a big repair

Been priming and filling today. That little indent is such a pain!! The primer tends to collect, even when giving it a light coat. Will post pics tomorrow. It won't be a bang tidy job, but it's stopped the rust becoming more of an issue!
