Repairing Windscreen Panel Rust in a Bay - Oldman - 04-07-2022 Courtesy Retro1: Quote:Today I have taken the windscreen out of my 1975 baywindow due to the rust that is appearing under the window. RE: Repairing Windscreen Panel Rust in a Bay - Oldman - 04-07-2022 The next set of pics is the large rust hole in the drivers side. I start at cutting a small hole then making it bigger, fitting the panel then welding . Be sure to spray any rust and blow away any metal filling as so the rust does not return.The black colur of the metal is the way it goes after rust converting. The last picture is of the panel welded in with clean up to be done another day it was etch coated quickly to stop it rusting( the paint is still wet). I think the best bit of advise is to take your time in cutting and fitting any bits. It?s easy to cut it smaller than to cut it bigger. The next step was to cut and curve a metal filler piece to go is the hole. This is done after grinding away the rust and then rust converting it. These photos show a step by step from start to under coating. Time spent in total 6 hours for both of these holes. I still have a few more to do and think it will take about another 2-3 hours to finish. A very big thanks to Dave ( Mr No van) for lending me his brand new light activated welding mask as I had the older style and will be buying a new one like his ASAP If you have any questions feel free to ask via a PM or email RE: Repairing Windscreen Panel Rust in a Bay - Oldman - 04-07-2022 Quote:This is the last picture of the repaired section.
