Hydrated Iron oxide, chemical name for our beloved rust. Can you guess what this post is about?

Cut that top section out:
Not forgetting the builder’s expanding foam in the sills:
Template is made up for that hole, some welding tidying and more cutting welding and tidying, then a wee bit more of the same, we get to start the other side. Then get onto the gearbox, then get onto the brakes and then wiper motor. Put interior back in and drive B-)
I got my Skoda too, 1987 Rapid:
Well that’s it for now, except to summarise between myself and Mr. BM we have 4 80′s sports coupes, none of which work. Impressed much?
