Re: Body filler - recommendations please.... slighty different idea...
how about cleaning up and using some decent rust convertor and leading the area with one of those frost kits
still need to cover and wax coat the rear of the panel but it would last longer than filler
ive not tried the lead kits they do but ive seen it being used and its quite simple adn looks not too hard to use
just remember to wear a face mask when your filing / sanding it off

Re: Body filler - recommendations please.... What's a frost kit, Matt?
As for the lead, is that what they used to call 'lead loading' in the days of classics?
