rust is not my friend

Here at the tofu shop alot of time is spent making sure the cars i own are nice, when i purchased the blue bird i was aware of a bit of rust in the boot starting to come through, at first glance nothing to major, then i started chipping away and discovered that it was a bit worse than first thought. after failing a w.o.f for said rust, i decided it was the time to fix it before it rusted beyond repair. 


The rust itself situated around the boot seal, has progressively gotten worse over time. needing to be addressed i removed the boot seal and lights all interior carpet from the boot and anything that could catch on fire when it gets repaired.here is the extent of the damage..



a bit of plating is needed to repair so its not the smallest job in the world but to a skilled fabricator is fairly simple work. i, unfortunately cant weld, so on monday, the job is being handed over to MB Minitrucks. Mark Bouzaid does alot of custom work including all air suspension needs and even Turn key Hotrods. Skilled and very competitively priced, he may be the man you need to do your custom work. i will photograph all his work before i get to painting it to show you all the quality of his work.

Stay tuned

Jim
