silly me...i meant the front repair& front wing where the seams join. Rusty builds up here and i'm looking for some permanent solution to prevent this happening again which i heard one can buy apanel to cover or closed up the bottom of this joined seams.

if it's what i think you're on about, the panel you need is the underscuttle closing panel.

Basically, welds in on the underside area of the join at the top of the wing where it curves round with the windscreen scuttle panel.

Alot of poeple don't bother putting them in but they're only £6 or something each

are you on about the wing and the body work holding the front bumper just under lights if so mines doing that as well its just got repainted but the paint has bubbled up i think it may be rust ?????

is it worth stripping all the paint of and replaccing and rusty pannels and then re painting whole thing i know it will cost abit but might be worth it ?

sorry for the thread hijack
