Spurred on by the feeling of accomplishment of finishing up the left hand side door frame I moved to the right hand side, starting with the scuttle.
From the outset I could tell there would be more rust, taking away the paint and really thick filler exposed a number of holes.
I hoped for the best and cut out as small a section as I thought I could get away with, thinking I could patch the hole by the wiper without cutting that out too.
Boy was I wrong, The rust this side was so much more widespread that I ended up cutting an additional section out.
Despite looking terrible, the metal around the wiper was actually fairly solid. I removed the very rusty layer by drilling and grinding away the spot welds and cutting up to what seemed to be reasonably firm metal.
As I knew this was going to get closed up soon I gave it a liberal coating of provonite at the end of the day.
