Hi guys,
My dad is in the process of restoring a mark 2 escort 2 litre. but some smaller things need attention to. There was a large rust hole in the passenger side C-pillar once we removed the vinyl roof. My dad has cut the rust out with an angle grinder and it is ready to be welded shut. Second, the body mouldings have been removed and now we need to close up the holes left in the doors and body, we dont have any idea on how to do this without major difficulty, nor do we have access to an OXy welder. lastly, there are a few minor dents in the body that need to be fixed. Is there anyone around Perth who could do some weekend work, if you can use an OXy welder or can straighten out the dents we'd like to hear from you. send me a reply if you are interested. we'd also appreciate any tips anyone has to do with these problems.
Thanks
Kyle Butcher

aircraft glue....ive been told is another way to do itglue a pice of metal to the back....then c ut another piece and glue it in the hole

they are gluing late model cars together now.....glue comes in at about 80 bucks and as strong as welding with no heat....so no warping of panels
