Do I or dont I? I hate body work
Was just sitting out the front knocking a coldie on the head and I was gazing upon my Series 3, I thought the old tart looks a bit rough, maybe i should go mad with the sander and poop and clean her up a bit, its a big job, I want to remove the lower extensions that run on the bottom edge of the body, like the exarmy things, that rubber sheeting thats covering a myriad of old patched hole from previous fitted equipment is looking a bit ratty, perhaps I should just get the kids on it for a while with the sanders and let them be constructive or destructive whichever comes first, if I freshen her up now she will last a lot longer, I thought the landy bodys were predominately all alloy, why do my the lower edges of my doors have rust bubbles appearing? more stuff to ponder in my already crazy life at the moment,

The bubbles aren't rust it's corrosion, poke it with a driver and you will get nice white powder where the alumminium is oxidising. If you want to keep the panel it will need to be repaired.
I suppose it depends on how long you intend to keep your landy for as to how much effort and how good a job you do versus cost.
When I first got my RR the bottom of the door panels had a few small bubbles so I sanded scraped and grinded out any dead ally. I then just bodged/bogged it and painted it with standard car paint, and it's been like that for about 3 years.
This was of course before I knew to use an aluminium primer and how much RRC doors/panels are to buy.
Next time I'll do a proper job.
Still, from a distance you cant really tell, (much).
