I have a rust bubble about the size of a 5 cent peice I know its nothing but boy it shits my off , Anyway i saw this build up thread on aussie v8 and thought oh my god my body is mint, Im not picking on this car im just sharing the link becouse it sort of shows no matter how bad you think your car is it can be fixed,

This guy is very determined and has done some great fab work with very basic tools, Its not hard you just have to have a go,

It also shows you need to be very carefull when you buy an old car.

Good on him for persisting. I think it's almost a given these days that nearly any car has rust. Its pretty funny when you see vt commodores with more rust than something that's thirty years older!!

Hopefully its not too bad for you Dave!!
