    Rust removal from rear roof windows

    Have many owners gone the route of paying for rust removal in and around the rear roof windows of a D1 ? - Something more than tiny surface bubbling, maybe leaking a little but not 'raining' inside.

    Reason: - some D-1's I've come across seem cursed with this, suspect it could be a known problem. The fact that the current owners have'nt had it repaired tells me it may be expen$ive....

    -= Looking at maybe buying a cheapy for a son, in which case if I have it professionally fixed, the roof can be painted white at the same time.

    Thoughts on this and any other common rusting areas appreciated !

    The rust around the windows is fairly common, I just had the rust cut out of mine, the shop plated it and resprayed the roof, bonnet and both front guards including a small ding repair. No issues and a 4 day turn around.
    Total cost $1,400.00

    Theyre located in Ossie Park, K&W Crash repairs . 0408 927 165

    Cheers,
    Ben

    It is not a hard job. Treat it as an excuse to buy a Mig and learn how to use it. (That reminds me I still need to do mine...)

    The options are to either repair as new, or blank off the windows completely with steel (google and you can find examples).

    I could be pursuaded to do the welding, for suitable liquid renumeration...

    Hmm could be an idea... but we'd have to careful of Isuzu... the fruits of his labours may render him a bit unsteady...


    got a cheap MIG, but dunno how to use it. Still wonder why I bought it...
