Boring Black Rallye

[wainwrightj]

Okay I feel as if this project thread might need a name change. I haven't done anything major to the car since the last post other than a service which I may have already mentioned. I didn't buy an air filter at the time of the service, I recently bought one after looking at the filter currently in the car, when taking the filter out I noticed the air box was rusty and wanted tot take it out and clean it up. Anyways I couldn't get it off myself with the tools at home so dad brought some from work and took it off for me whilst I was at work. And after removing the arch liner this was uncovered..





Sooo it's pretty bad and this is only on the front passenger side I'm too scared to look at the other side but I'm really hoping it's not as bad. In an attempt to make it a little better I decided to start chipping away the loose rust and this happened...





It's pretty horrendous, my dad said he'd do the welding on it which makes everything alot easier for me, in a sorry attempt to save what was there I ground back to bare metal where possible and then covered it in Kurust not sure if this stuffs any good or not I found it lying around in the garage.



As much as this sucks I'm glad we've spotted it now rather than later as I'd hate it to find this further down the line when this is on the road at the moment I still have my 1.4 Meridian to drive around.

Not much of an update, but I wanted to get something worth while added to the thread.
