Shocking, you’ve always kept the beast washed and cleaned, even after salty crud from new mate?
How much do you want for the old pig, and or let’s comp truck it ?

Just seen I can still buy a new support panel. I guess I need to strip it down now and get a new panel. What an absolute pain! I wonder if I leave it how long it will last.

I doesn't look too bad bud I can tell it is as the area is actually swollen, so the rust is on the inside and pushing out. These are prone to do it. Dumb design, the lower tube section where its rusted out is open and free for water to just sit inside it. When I did the body mounts about four years ago I remember the bolts for the front mounts, which go directly through this rusted area, were really rusted and I had to buy new bolts.Can't just stip it back clean and rattle can rebuild or too buggered?

I'll get the die grinder out tonight and have a dig at it and see if i can repair it. Changing this panel over means getting the AC degassed, or I do it myself, removing the entire front of the car pretty much. I have a free TJM OX winch here for anyone who wants to do this for me. Haha!
Ah bugger rodger, yeah once it starts poping fron the other side no good. Good luck with it lol hopefully come up good enough. .

Ugh! Just killed my Dremel! Another thing to buy now. Second one I have killed. Both died the same way too. And they don’t get used a hell of a lot...

Simple.
A piece of string is twice as long as half its length.

Maybe look at the Milwaukee die grinder? Might be a little more robust.

Good idea I reckon. I have a Dremel and find it annoying how small the parts are for work bits - bearing in mind it is more a hobby grinder, than the Milwaukee, which I suppose allows use of the 6mm shank grinding tools as well.
