johnny_h Posted May 7, 2008 Report Posted May 7, 2008 I had a poke around and ended up having to get down the panel shop to buy a sheet of 18 gauge.

Admin Mk2Jo Posted May 7, 2008 Author Admin Report Posted May 7, 2008 Thanks Sprocket but Phil (overhead cam) has very kindly offered to sort it for me but he is a busy man and I am on a waiting list I just wish I had left it as a rust bubble now and not poked at it Chris ... No it will not be a fully fledged racer .... I need to keep it as my family vehicle (sort of ).
FredTransit Posted May 7, 2008 Report Posted May 7, 2008 NEVER poke at rust, unless you are on your way to the paint shop Sounds like it's time to get the gaffer tape out........

Admin Vista Posted May 7, 2008 Admin Report Posted May 7, 2008 Think yourself lucky Jo, last time I poked something in a hole I wasn't sure of I got the clap!! I needed an embarrassing visit to the Dick Dr whereas you'll get away with some discretely placed masking tape till winter
Tom Posted May 7, 2008 Report Posted May 7, 2008 words of wisdom - never stick your finger in anywhere where you wouldn't stick your winky
smiffy Posted May 7, 2008 Report Posted May 7, 2008 words of wisdom - never stick your finger in anywhere where you wouldn't stick your winky and NEVER stick your finger in any rusty holes
mossy Posted May 7, 2008 Report Posted May 7, 2008 found my front panel needs re-doing as it was rusting under the paint! So i had to pull all the paint off and now looks shite covered in filler!
