Hi all,
Ive just bought a 1979 450 sl thats been standing in a garage for 20 years, Ive always wanted one and i found this through a friend of mine, it was his aunties and shes the 3rd owner. The last year it was outside which is a shame and probably has caused most of the corrosion to the outside. so probably not the only one to ask for some advice concerning the bulkhead, but before i continued with the restoration of this lovely car i do need a second opinion on the condition of the bulkhead and whats the best way forward for this particular area.
Ive had a good look around and used an inspection camera and really the rust is only in the picture you can see below. Doesent look to bad to me. The rest of the car is solid underneath, surprisingly!.
Any help would be much appreciated.
