Re: [T3] fixing a rusting battery compartment


If you're not into welding, clean back to metal and reinforce with glassfibre
and resin.  If the metal is missing completely, just glass in a piece of metal
bigger than the hole.  As long as you clean things up OK, and keep water and
acid out of the repair with a good chassis paint and sealant, it'll be years
before you have to think of remaking the repair, by which time you may have
learnt welding to sort out other places that are leaking.  No repair is
permanent, with our cars!
