Busy mate, here's that panel, not holed but needs some work!

I'll stick the wire brush around it and see what's left!

After a wire brushing, clearly some holes

If you can get a new one I would do that, but you may be able to do something with this one if you kill the rust and weld the small holes ...........

Looks better than the one on me car! Will see what the body shop say mate, thank you :) Rust on mine is father spread than that one, and worse.

I would go for that new part Nik, if the rust is set in like that, it will only be a matter of time before it comes through again.

Is there any reason why they all rust there?

Water trap I suppose???

Looks to me like the spout vibrates around in there like the old Fiat Regatta used to, that in turn rubs the paint away then a bit of moisture invites the tin worm in....

Ha; It was difficult to drive round the unit last week as there were so many Alfas and Maserati parked up! Chuffed he has been able to sort it for me though :)
