HarryMann: We all know that the panel above the bumper and its flange can rust, this is the same area looking out 

Camera is about where radiator was (before removal). Try to brush and treat this region too, most can be got to without removing the rad, but not so easy of course.

Additionally www.ahschofield.co.uk sell a repair panel for the lower front panel. It goes from the bumper valance to the bottom of the lower grille appature and costs £45 (Nov 08)

Heres a video from 'Covkid' and 'Chickenkoop' showing another way of repairing this section using flat steel, bent at right angles in a vice, drilled and puddle welded to complete the repair. Spend time cleaning back to clean metal!
