Finally . . doing the last section of rust repair.
Passenger side rear , bottom back of the wheel arch.
This is nasty and gone right through

To anyone thinking of getting your car professionally done , just remember
Carnt quote rust repairs just on what you can see, there’s usually more repairers needed around than what is visible .
Hence that’s were the money gets chewed up.
A restoration/rust removed & replaced with fresh sheet metal isn’t a cheap venture.
And do your homework on the panel beater. Demand plenty of photos . Before , during and after " Daily " As I have easily 500 photo,s. Pay progress money weekly or fortnightly.
Dont be a goose and hand over a dirty big wad of money and expect your car back in a week
like my brother did on his last car. My brother was burnt real bad.
Perfection takes time and maybe think about over capitalizing on your project.
cheers
