rusty ruby

I had a rusty Mk2 Ruby, at some point in its life someone had essentially used the original rotten floor as the 'form' for a GRP one, fitted on the inside.
Essentially the metal had all disolved, and it was amazing the body didn't fall off the chassis!.

This is probably the worst one I have seen... I doubt there was a floor and yes, the bottom of the doors are going too.

More difficult with a heavily fibreglass-filled monocoque? I think Bob is using the antipodean nickname for body filler there. Body filler seems to have quite a lot: Putty, Plod, Pudding, Bondo (25-05-2021, 04:17 PM)Colin Morgan Wrote: This is probably the worst one I have seen...

Thanks, Stuart - I think you are right with 'bogged' - makes sense.
Photos of cars always flatter - in the 'rust' a car like this is really shocking... |
