BTDT.. do it right and do it once.. of course no rust repair is permanent if you dont fix the problem at the SOURCE.. ie, behind the seams on the inner wheelwells or the leaky westy fill ports where the water is coming thru in the first place. you can spend hours making your outside body all nice and purdy but if you dont stop the water coming thru from behind, your COMPLETELY WASTING YOUR TIME.. chris ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
