    That's all California rust so it isn't serious. Trust me, that's what it said in the ad when I bought it so it has to be true.

    Although I suspect the previous owner stored it in his pool.

    Rob, it's peanuts, not bananas!:)

    I still think that a 'properly re-constructed' Dino will be worth more, not necessarily what you might put into it, but it is the 'proper way' of performing such restoration. Otherwise, why bother with the other zillion items that 'always' will require attention?

    When you remove a corner of a door skin and see what looms underneath, you just patch that, and hope the rest will never go bad? Hmmm....

    Regards, Alberto

    Headlight covers are generally indicative of a European spec car.

    When I bought mine, the ad said it had been fully sandblasted, although, not the fact that it had been done by a 14 year old after school and all panels were distorted, and of course, the 'slight rust' issues were nowhere to be seen as they simply were missing altogether. ;)

    Of course. :)

    The main reason we Tig welded the door skins is how precise and clean the weld comes out. Minimal body filler is needed to cover the weld. A major concern with patch repairs is being able to see the weld through the painted surface during temp changes.

    Well done young Jedi. It is amazing how many 'experts' I have quizzed on this and they tell you that there is no difference in using TIG or MIG to weld in patches. The reality is that MIG welds are much harder than the surrounding metal and will expand and contract at different rates than TIG which is the same hardness. Also MIG welds are harder to work smooth than TIG. Looks like you guys are on the right track to make a beautiful Dino.
