this weekend was the rust under the o/s headlight.

was alot easyer than i thought it would be, just had to cut out all the infected bits and not be shy with the grinder.

that way you just add on to what you have got.

ouch !

and i can see the tell tale signs of previous welding (if thats what they called it) ..... wire sticking through all over the place :roll:

it always looks much better when you've cut all the old crap and rust out doesnt it :) ... shame that that is the part that usually takes the longest .... the actual welding is quite quick in respect :lol:
