Nice work. I'm doing a white 91 cabrio at the mo. Took my arches off today and found similar scabs although not rusted through luckily.

Cheers mate.
Think it's convinced me to remove all the arches and double check seems as it's having a full spray job too.

Been a while since I've been to garage but had a few hours spare today so ventured down.
First job was to look at why the front bumper didn't fit to wing very well so removed bumper and found LOADS of filler in the wing coving what was a VERY tiny ding,So set about with the wire wheel in grinder and after 15mins ended up with this.

Also managed to remove all paint from front slam panel as it was full off stone chips.
Just gave it a quick waft of black to stop surface rust for now .
