Hi all,
Am looking at taking on a Series 2 RST which i know needs a little bit of TLC on the bodywork.
A reasonably thorough check over has shown a few pin prick bubbles on the roof, some rust on the bottom of the doors and a 2p sized 'ring' on the boot...
I'm considering getting the car resprayed and wanted to get some opinions on how much work it'd take to sort the rust issues out as well... Would it be easier to get new doors etc? Can pin pricks be taken out of the roof or does it need reskinning?
Any opinions or info would be appreciated!
Cheers

if you pm me with your email i will show you some pics of my s2 restoration, my roof had pin holes in etc but i got them repaired.believe me it can be very costly but in the end it will be worth it
Have a look through this thread .... IMO get new doors and boot though... well good s/hand ones at least
