ok, in the rear trunk, at the rear most, behind the dogbone, its pretty decently rusted....now the rear panel isnt rusted, just the trunk floor...my question is can i get by with just cutting out the floor, or do i have to do the whole back section like sir andy..
im not the greatest welder, so id like to stay away from the entire thing, if possible, i dont really wanna compromise the strength of teh chassis i dont have a pic of the spot, so i will graciously use one of sir andy's (i hope you dont mind) Attached image(s) |

Yeah, it took me a while to find them the first time, but check your friendly local automotive provider. They have a toothed circle (like a little hole saw) which you centre on the spot weld, use it in a drill or air-drill, and it cuts the metal out around the weld. Once the panel is out you can grind down the plug that is left, nice labour saver.
If Miles was around I am sure he could draw a picture of one. |
