My TR6 is rust free with 2 small exceptions that may be this winter's
project. Both outer front fenders have small rust areas under the turn
signal lights. It's one of those spots where you have to get on your hands
and knees to even see it. The right fender spot is about a 2 x 6 inch bubble
and the left is a 2 x 2 inch bubble. I assume I'll have to remove all the
"undercoating" first to see the true extent of the rust. What's the list's
advice on repair versus replace and how large an area can effectively be
repaired? I'm not a body shop guy so I'll probably have it professionally
repaired is possible. The other option is to replace both fenders in which
case I'd leave it alone until the rot becomes more visible.
Thanks
