Has anyone got any pics of rust repairs they've done on the rear, not the sills, but the bottom quarters behind the wheel, under the bumper where all the water and shite flicks up? Recently discovered some rot on mine, which I'm glad I did, so I can repair it, just wondering if there's any pics floating about for ideas and what not?

 

Cheers guys.... Tudor...

Typical repair looks like this, can be done without bumper or exhaust removal.

Like these, although they were pretty severe,

bloody hell!! i would have given up on that years ago, fair play to you and awesome welding mate!!

 

btw how come you didnt get the shell chemically dipped to get rid of all the paint and rust etc?

christ my man you would could of stripped the whole shell and started from blank at this rate. good job though welldone for sticking at it.

that is a fantastic job, i had to do similar on my 200 shell.

 

i have just built a spit to do the bottom of my 300 (very little rust though). the only area that i need to repair is this exact area where the rear bumper attaches with 1 screw to the shell (low down right behind the rear wheel.

 

someone has tried to repair this before but its not very good.

 

does the bumper screw onto a little bracket or into the panel (as in jeffs pic)

 

any one help? car is a swb btw

mines LWB, and the bumper screws into a simple bracket, just a strip of metal about 1-1/2" that sticks out with a nut on the end, I'll put some pics up in a bit mate, and some of the rust, will be tackling it shortly...
