RosieFreak Posted May 15, 2013 Posted May 15, 2013 Hey guys, Can any of you recommend a garage for removal of rust and resprays? In the Glasgow area. Cheers
g1983 Posted May 15, 2013 Posted May 15, 2013 Depends how bad it is. If its a wee bit i would try it yourself. Unfortunately the guy i use is in the Falkirk area.
fmj Posted May 15, 2013 Posted May 15, 2013 This is rust needing repaired. Unfortunately it goes there on most classics. I will bet that there will be a lot more rust hidden up inside the arch which I think causes this corner to rust from behind. You can get it rubbed off both sides and resprayed but when I had a body shop do this it came back less then a year later. The only way to get rid for good is to cut out the rusty bit and replace or fill.
g1983 Posted May 15, 2013 Posted May 15, 2013 £800 cut out and fix from sill to light on both sides. IM gonna attempt mine on Friday weather dependent
RosieFreak Posted May 15, 2013 Author Posted May 15, 2013 Could you let me know how you get on with repairing yours? I think I will have to get it cut and wielded to be honest, i know its dear but aint looking to get rid of the car.
g1983 Posted May 15, 2013 Posted May 15, 2013 Hopefully with some care and cleaning it will last a few years. Waxoyl the arches underneath. I have taken some pictures today, spent yesterday cleaning the garage to gimme work space for the lovely Glasgow weather, then today was a scorcher
RosieFreak Posted May 15, 2013 Author Posted May 15, 2013 Yeah thats what I am hoping, I have the waxoyl and kurust ready to go, just need the weather to improve to help along with it. The weather wouldnt make its mind up today in EK on and off!! Where abouts in town do you stay?

arch Posted May 15, 2013 Posted May 15, 2013 Leason Coachworks in Kilsyth cant fault their work, had a few bits done there and have known the family for years you wont go wrong.
