Brat 1800 Bodyshell question

Featured Replies

Dear all,

Yesterday, I've checked the shell of my Brat .... I'm not so Lucky because there is a lot of rust.....

There are 2 places I don't know how to proceed... Inside the rear fenders.

As you can see on the pics, there is a lot of rust there ( and probably  more on the hidden side...)

What is the best way to stop the rust?

In this case, do you only pour a 'rust stop' as Frameto or do you drill all the fender spot welding to remove the fender  and by the way remove 100% the rust with a sandblaster?

I think the second is the best, but it is a hard job...

what is you opinion?

Unless your building a beauty queen removing rear fenders is a time consuming expensive task. My Brat is a driver I remove taillights and spray some tri flow in there a couple times a year. My rust hasn’t grown since I bought her.

I try to find an easy way to restore the rear fenders...

The wheel arches are very rusty, so it should be nice to replace them.

I’m searching on internet (original or reproduction) arch, but I don’t find ...

do you know where I can find that?

I’ve got the same problem with the rocker panels, panels from Loyale are usable?
