Hi all
French friend has a the above landy. Bit of a problem with the rear door lock, so takes off the inner panel. Well... the lower part of the steel door frame is completely rotted away.
So, he is likely to want me to fix it and I will need to find sections to replace the rusted bits. Any suggestions? Not had any recent experience with them (last one was 20yrs ago) but expect there are suppliers; Any reccommendations? They appear to be 'top hat' sections and I could get such from the local specialist folder outfit, just wondered if there was a place that could supply the actual bits.. Everthing below the window is either rotting or fatigue cracked, or both.
The next MOT is likely to be quite severe and he is worried. (As am I, my Espace from '96 will likely not be allowed to be tested, straight to the scrappy, after it's recent MOT runs out in two years time)
