its not really that bad when the rest of the car is solid tho?

Its always good to see another one saved. The usual places they rust, aren't no different to a lot of other cars of the era. Nobody seems to mention a Bentley of the same vintage with tinworm. I've seen it and believe me, a Carlton is a better proposition.

Keep up the work and enjoy the car.

Mine was worse!!!
As long as there is sound metal to weld fresh steel to, it'll be fine.

Doesn't look too bad, if its just the top part that's gone it's an easy fix, trying to make room to get to it is another matter

[damoh]

cheers for comments lads,yep jus ttop  of leg gone so is an easy fix(hopefully),getting access should be ok when i drop engine out i suppose?

ah the moment just working stripping it down at front bumper wings bay ect tidy up any surface rust waxoyl the inner wing ect..

The best way to remove rust is to cut it out.
