I knew I had some rust pinholes in the outer door pillars on my Mk1 Escort but upon making an exploritory hole it would appear that the rust is more substantial than I hoped (sorry, I know this is minor to what you have....). This picture doesnt really show just how deep and flaky the rust is on the inner panel.
It is most likely that this rust is over the entire surface of the inner panel. I would like to remove the rust and have some peace of mind. How do I go about removing the outer door pillar panel??
From what I can tell I need to unpick the spot welds on the sides of the panel, I expect there are more on the front face of the panel (where ?). I then thought I would cut the panel at the locations shown by the white lines in the first photo.
Can anybody help me out with any info and suggestions you have please????? Cutting this section off is by far the biggest and most scary incission I have done yet.....
PS - Dave note the hammers.........
