Rust Repair - Progress.
« on: 03 January 2009, 14:43 »
Right doing some rust repairs this afternoon and going to give you all somin to read.
 :tongue:

Ok so the damage was as follows:




to both sides of the sills!  :rolleyes:

So i started rubing it back with a bit of rele coarse sand paper, and i then filled the small holes with a bit of Polyfilla (Domestic) i know this isn't ideal but i am quite short of cash atm, so this is what it looks like atm

sorry no pics atm will get in 5 mins.

Dont use household pollyfiler! its water based! It will draw water, and accelerate the rusting process again, a small tube of body filler will cost you the price of a pint! check out my "How to deal with rust" thread on this page, I put in plenty of useful tips, than can be adapted to use with aerosols, using the correct products IS everything,

You can get cheap body filler from Wilkinsons in the car section or Halfords mate
