  1. I never wanted to do more bodywork. :(

    I wanted to be A LUMBERJACK!
    Leaping from tree to tree, as they float down the mighty rivers of British Columbia...

    Seriously, i'm sick and tired of finding rot and filler in my westy.
    I wanted to spend my money lowering it, a more powerful engine, adding some nice accessories, maybe a repaint but no it had to be attacked by the metal moths again. :mad:

    On mine, I was crouching on my haunches checking out an area of rust at the top of the arch, and my knee hit the left part of the step - which then promptly fell off.

    Transpired that the outer step was around 1kg of filler, with threads of rust to add reinforcement and rigidity.

    Think of it this way - all that filler - and the moisture it traps represents quite a weight. Replacing it will save you money in the looooooooooooooong run.

    Feel for you buddy - its a mare!
     
  6. That fell off after i slammed the new door with new rubber.

    This is what happened when i wire brushed a small rust hole in the top of the arch a few years back:

    I get frightend even going near it with objects more solid than the bodywork. A sponge for instance. ;D
