May 2012 - "I think i'll start tidying up the front end a bit today" - oh dear......

Well, one of those mad moments came about on a nice Sunday morning. I thought, quite innocently, that i'd start to tidy up the RH headlamp box, rust treat the surface, and paint it up to stop it getting worse......



Looks good, but as you can see, the wing is off too...........here's why......







lot's of rusty stuff to play with. You can see from the top picture where the water has been running through the drain hole in the side of the scuttle panel, down the A panel along the wing stiffeneer, and then gathering at the bottom causing corrosion. I can only really put this down to the poor seam sealer, as it crumbled and lifted off when i started to prod.
