rsweeney 40 Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 This is the last job I have to do as far as bodywork. So basically on the tailgate there is a huge rust hole that goes behind the number plate that I have filled and sprayed , The paint has also faded in places and it doesn't look great. A new one is about £120 in primer , and I have to get it shipped to guernsey then painted. Or I get one second hand. What's the best thing to do ? Link to post Share on other sites

bungy 2 Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 Would it be worth a ferry trip over or is it too expensive? Link to post Share on other sites
