Haha... It's already Vactanned!! Did that as soon as I got the thing home Covkid!!! It's my favourite stuff

Though my wife has now gone crazy again after having found more vactan stains on my new shirt...

That is a posibility - but then I'd need to buy an angle grinder, a workbench and vice... etc etc... to do the work! Plus I'm crap at things like that ha ha... Fibergalss it is... with plenty of encapsulator at least that will STOP the problem getting any bigger for now... But, if anybody knows a st...

It's not the door, it's the top of the 'number plate' panel at the rear...

I suppose it IS better to try and find somebody else to weld it - but it isn't a T25! So doesn't need to last for ever :( However, if somebody knows a welder who would do this sort of work roundStockport for 10 -20... or something a lot less than 350 PLEASE let me know before I apply the fibergalss!...

Ah, 10 or 20 if it were just a 'plate' needed - but the whole back panel is a mess and needs cutting out, and the place I took it to is a proper body shop bloke who would fabricate a whole new back piece... have a look:

I don't think it will ever be a real MOT issue as the damage is inside the car, not visible from the outside - actually my dremel with a good mini cutting blade cut out the rust quite nicely... slow yes, but easier than hammering I imagine. As for fiberglass, not as good as metal perhaps... but some...

The inner skin of the boot, and a little of the outer skin, is rusted through... I'm in the process of cutting out the bad metal... with a little dremel

Oh bum... by cold welding I meant gluing!!! With metal glue like jb weld... not vacuum welding as I've just realised cold welding is!!

Yes, of course you are right... but can't afford a mig welder, can't USE a mig wlder and at the moment can't afford somebody else to do it!

Or indeed, should I use aluminium mesh and fill out with fiber glass / chemical metal?

Hi, I'm doing a little repair on the back of my VW car - a mk2 polo, just filling a small hole and though I'd cold weld (with something like jb weld) a plate on. However, I am not sure whether to use steel or aluminium... it will have to be shaped slightly plus won't be able to treat the reverse whe...

Thanks for that, and I suppose there is less waste... a little bit is always left in an aerosol I find...

I'll go for that then.

It is a German based paint called MIPA, solvent based, colour code VWL 567. It is excellent stuff - I have purchased about 5 or 6 different aerosols from different people, and they are always slightly off... this chap up in Lancashire was really spot on, and at about 12 quid for 400 ml posted it was...

Hi, I have just changed my starter motor and the wiki is spot on how to di it... I used it to the letter and did fine.. and I'm an idiot :oops: Now, you must do as the wiki says though, soak the bush overnight and make sure you have a tap and die set to get the old bush out... it is a REAL bugger, b...

Hi, I was just wondering what people think of 29 quid a litre for pre mixed colur match paint? I have to say the paint colour match is EXACT... I have purchased off these guys before and it ended up costing about 35 quid for three 400 ml aerosol cans, but I now have a compressor and was going to use...
