<DIV>Sorry, but your topic attracted me. Will you attack only the "bad
rust" and leave the good rust alone?</DIV>

style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" color=#000000 size=2 face=Arial>A common
problem with old British cars is rust. <BR>Well, I have a few small areas that
are worse than I thought. A couple small areas ate through the firewall from
inside the W/S wiper arm cavern. You know, that in accessible area under the
windshield. <BR>It is on the passenger side near the hood latch. <BR>Another
spot is under the clutch master cylinder in the corner where the inner wheel
fender and the pedal box meet. It is fairly small but goes through to the
wheel area and through to the inside of the car pedal area. <BR><BR>Question
is...how best to repair this?<BR>Form metal and welding in probably isn't
going to work for the intricate curves of the body for the later section
mentioned. <BR><BR>I am thinking of (after grinding/sanding clean) to use
fiberglass to give some 'body' to accept the thin layer of body filler to
smooth out. <BR><BR>Other wise, welding in bits of sheet metal would be a pain
for many reasons. The car cannot be move right now and I don't know any metal
welders that make house calls. Or how they could go about bending/forming
metal to even closely match and not look butchered or frankensteined.

this?<BR><BR>Advice?<BR>_______________________________________________<BR>Support
