    Decided it was time to tackle the rust on the Copen.
    The Copen must have been well looked after in its previous life as the only rust of note was the front of both sills, the drivers side was by far the worst for some reason?
    Well beyond my bodywork abilities so I left it to the professionals who cut out and replaced as necessary. Very happy with the quality of the work, Spotty is now ready for the winter!

    don`t use sika flex after velved seals. canĀ“t breath..only sanders or fertan.:eek:

    its easy using sika flex, but water will get rust back again or you had to check it may ones a year.

    the picture third right shows rust in the sill. use a camera to look at it, fill it with mike sanders. Check the two holes in the sills, front and rear , if they are open and the rainy water could leave. near the jack
