Hi all,
As stated i have a w210 on a Y reg 01 plate which has developed a couple of rust spots, and as i live by the sea with that lovely corrosive salt ait, i wish to give them a treatment.
The main ones are on the rear drivers side door along the top mostly under the rubber seal but one has bubbled the paint onto main part of door and is now visible - there is also a couple of minor small rust bubbles which have burst and are not covered under paint (probably only about 4mm across for each one) on the drivers side front lower wing area.
I dont intend to keep this for more than a few years and plan to get a newer model then, so for now all i want to be able to do is arrest the rust and make it relatively aesthetically pleasing to the eye without having to go to the expense of a professional bodyshop - kids stuff is more of a priority for our cash!!!
Therefore, could someone point me in the right direction of what i need to do, whats involved, what equipment i will need, and where i should go to get these things too please?
Many thanks in advance.
