I have seen some bubbles comming up here and their so to is got the screw driver out
Result

Not to bad considering I have seen a lot worse.
I't looks like the PO has done some draising before they did the crap paint job.
I'm expecting this to be fixed with just some wels and rubbing back

Jim, cut it out until you get clean metal all round, then weld a patch in. Otherwise, it'll just keep coming back. :evil:

Trust me- I owned 2 Valiants... :lol:

Forgot that...
Yeah well- the 2nd one (1968 model) was pretty good, it must have had a salt spray-free trip out here. I fitted a sill, that was all. And poured about 5L of fishoil through it... :lol:

As for the 1st one (I bought new in Jan `69) it got rust under the windscreen trim within 12 months. And it just got worse from there. :cry:

like others have said, if that rust is there... there is sure to be more behind it. check out surrounding areas, spray fish oil in there and weld it back up if the other metalwork is ok.

Kings School has been and gone but Gannons is around the Corner.
The rust area's that I know of are slowley progressing and the further I look i see a few more bubb;;es as the PO didn't do the rite thing as well as doing a bad (thin) paint job. Spring is around the corner and so is Summer so its perfect time to start.
Sue will how ever will have to drive around in a patch work paint for a while as she will not allow her belovered off the road

We'll go for Rust and Dust or Encoragment at Gannons :lol:

Is that also a crack in the paint work,under the door hinge?If so that can only mean one thing..."white ants". ooh I also owned a VC Valiant a long time ago
and yes they had a few issues with rust :cry:
