Rear Valance

My car has rust running down the seams on the rear valance (the bit under the rear bumper) I'd like to get this sorted out, how much roughly am i looking at? Also are the parts required for this difficult to get hold of?

Cheers

what's it like around the towing eye? have a good dig all around the rear panel and see if there's any other areas (read license plate lights are another area and behind the license plate itself)

I believe you can get the lower half of the rear panel (pattern) from Hadrian.. not sure how well the fit would be though

and not forgetting Crazyquiff has rear panels to keep it original

it seems to be good round those parts, its literally just on the seam! I dont think its major, but i'd like to nip it in the bud! Might leave it for the winter and sort it when it gets warm enought to work on!

I see.. might get away with a little grinding and rust treatment in that case

Good stuff….I gotta get a little bit of rust sorted under the hood on the wing, so i will get it looked at at the same time! How was the last berkshire meet? I'm keen to come along to the next one…

Sounds like a good plan, might be a good idea to put a fresh coat of underseal on  :wink:

Yeah last Berkshire meet was a good one.. did wonder if you were going to turn up

am there next time! When is it?! I was gonna go, but its been kinda awkward recently, as my mate form uni has moved in n stuff, but he is always keen for a beer, so that will be my angle of approach!
