That will be one of the first things to go when it has it's makeover along with the pikey graphics. I'm toying with the idea of painting it but haven't decided whether to paint it red or change the colour altogether.

DodgyBastard Posted October 26, 2017 Author Share Posted October 26, 2017 DSC_0219 by srblythe, on Flickr It's not really too bad, it just appears to be the sill ends and rear arches that are affected. I've managed to cut out most of the rot so hope to get it welded up over the weekend. I'm not sure what I'm going to do about arch panels? I hear that Fiesta arches are cheap. oldcars, The Moog, Arthur Foxhake and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
