whats up with it? im not sure if they sell them tbh but you can and prob the only/easy way would be to cut one out at a scrappy mate.

am i right in thinking you wanna change it as yours has rotted out at the bottom?

yes it is rousted at the bottom and yes it does have one little hole the size of a 5p coin the thing that worries me is that mi windscreen cracked on me yesterday right from where the rust hole is so i was thinking of cuting the exterior bit of it and weld a new bit in its placeor even make a new bit out of a sheet of metal, about my skills there is not worries as I was a welder at my last job I have a good knowlaged of what I'm doing

the hole wouldnt make ya screen crack as the body would have to twist a fucking lot for that to happen and it it does, you got more to worry about than a rust hole mate!

cut the rust out, and plate it, easiest way to do it mate as its not worth fucking about with if its only that small, as long as the rust hasnt creaped round and rusted nearly all of it your be ok.
