New wing 8) :wink:


Or grind away all the rust, down to bare metal if there is any metal left, then filler back to correct shape, sand and smooth, spray few coats of primer, smooth it down again, spray colour over prime(few coats) (try and use proper Vauxhall colours to get the best match, Tcut maybe needed to blend the colour in), then spray few coats of laquer over the top.
Finish off with a clean and wax. :+:
