no - you should have seen my coupe when I bought it...

there doesn't seem to be much rust in the car from what I've seen in the photos. This is obviously a bit of a dodgy previous repair, and may not be beatable thanks to the previous work by someone else - you'd have to consult a panelbeater. Other options are to take a cut from a shell at the wreckers (I know they're hard to find here, and if you do they're full of rust), or use filler to shape it (not to fill the rust under the boot rubber obviously). If its done right it will last - again my coupe if a good example, parts of it are a real sculpture and 8 years on it's still showing no signs of that, so don't be too discouraged by what you've uncovered here.

Well I am going to fix it, but there is a hell of alot of silcone selant in the boot area. Is there an eazy way to get this #### removed from the hard toget places??
