_Matt_ 42 Report post Posted January 29, 2013 After two years I've uncovered a few areas of rust that I want to fix so I can actually call my ride a minter. - boot (because of leaky light gaskets and boot seal) - left hood vent (not sure if a new hood and paint would be cheaper) - corner of drivers footwell (worst spot) And a little paint and panel work, scratches, cracks, a bent right fender after the snow Have others in chch had work done? Where would you recommend? I guess I just want a place that I can trust to do the job and keep it original and not just slap some sheet metal on for a quick fix.

This is an images from 2011 After its fixed I want it look original, with the circular cuts, the top lip, the pieces of metal to hold the wire etc...
