My body cappings are rusted thru just ahead of the rear sliding windows - matching holes on both sides. The previous owner just put some tape over it - said it was to pass MOT.
Is there a patch/fix that's a bit more substantial than tape without going to the level of replacing the whole thing? Bit of sanding and body-filler perhaps?
I do eventually want to replace the things, so I don't want to do anything that would unduly complicate the replacement.
On other hand, is replacing the body capping feasible for a one-man n00b job? If so, that might be the way to go. I reckon removing the SW roof would be the worst part - either that or not having anywhere to keep a top-less Landy out of the rain. Never drilled out rivets before - or put any in for that matter. Do you reckon I'd need any special/extra big riveter for the job?
Cheers
