Best temporary repair for rust holes

Post by Smcknighty »

I have a large large amount of work to do on the van. Originally I was planning to get welding done when it fails the mot - but it seems the mot test didn't care about the holes in the sills and I didn't even get an advisory about the hole in the wheel arch.

So - I'm now thinking I want to seal these to stop them getting worse whilst I work on the bits I need to get done before holiday.

What is the best temp fix on a sill to stop it getting worse? Also the same on a hole in the wheel arch? Any ideas? Just filler?

Agree. Plus eventually it'll all be gaffa tape then you can squeeze it in your pocket. :lol:

Gaffa tape it is! Sort of like a vinyl wrap I guess?
