Help With Rust Spots

Post by cammmy »

Hey Guys

Not sure if this is better placed in the wanted section but; would anyone in the south be willing to help out with a bit if rust on a car? Not looking for a concourse job, just as cost effective as possible (I'm not looking for something for nothing). I don't think it's too bad yet, just want to get it taken care of as early as possible.

The car is in Rayleigh but happy to drive it anywhere that's not too far away.

Is anyone keen to help? I'll get some pics.

Hi
I can Tig bits of steel into other bits of steel if that is what you need, just bring it over, and if you want thinner steel than 18G then you will have to supply it :D
best regards

Show us some pics Cammy.

Mike can Tig stuff and I can braze over spots of rust to give you a surface to repair !!

Not being any good at welding thin steel - let alone rusty stuff where it's even thinner - I did a repair to the sunroof on my SD1 by lead loading, which requires less skill and only a blowlamp. It seems to be lasting very well - much better than filler.
