Yes they all corrode there, it's only light surface rust. No need to replace at all, just rub it down, treat with rust cure, primer and then paint, dead easy. Few pics for inspiration!

Wouldn't let me upload a final pic, don't know why but here it is finished

I've been suffering with a dropped windshield frame cover for a while, i've seen a few others on the forum with the same problem......rattles like hell! The cover shields the electric motor that fastens down the roof to the windshield, part no6 in the diagram This is what it should look like...

The gear change between 2nd, 3rd and 4th became significantly poor, feeling very notchy and making a noticeable clicking sound. My immediate thought was something amiss with the linkages/bearings and not the gearbox. The easiest one to check first is the lever bearing/bush as shown in the...

In the next few days I'm going to be fitting door speakers. Whilst the door cards are off I'm going to fit some butyl sound deadening to the cards. Is it worthwhile fitting the same to the door skins.....I do know the earlier cars had zero proofing but I have seen on realoem that the facelift...

Corona has stopped me in my tracks from having a custom exhaust system built and so in my boredom I am continuing listening to different set ups and came across this.....Oh Lordy! https://youtu.be/bqwy-6o6V9A

Spot on! The bowden cable pushes in a brass pin - see pic. This pin activates the release valve but due to oxidisation it sticks in even when the cable is returned to its position, so not matter what you do it will never build up hydraulic pressure. A bit of wd40 and pushing it in and out a...

Fitted new brake shoes on the offside, did the nearside a few weeks back after they fell apart and disintegrated. Then painted rear hubs and calipers, fronts tomoz.
