Need advice and help with panel repair.. Perth

Post by Jesse »

I'm a newbie to the refurbishing art and would like some advice or help on refurbishing my ek wagon..
There's rust in the typical spots, and the previous owners dodgy work.

Any help would be great...
If anyone could come around on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon to give advice that would be great, I live In perth.

Queries:
Is there a specific grade or type of sheet metal that's best for filling the holes?
Any special techniques used to cut rust out of sills etc.

Ill post some pics soon

Theres some nasty bits there - I have a wreck that you can come and cut sections out of to make life easier repairing those bits if you like.

That would be great. When would be a good time I could come around?
I still go to school so during weekdays will be hard to do.
Where abouts do you live?

Thanks
