Wonder how many of us, would A) investigated further in the first place, or B) found the rust, and then just used rust converter/filler.

There was a big bubble in the sound deadening so I thought there could be rust. When I first saw it I thought it was just superficial but when I cleaned it up there was a couple of holes and it was very thin along the line near the hole. Cleaning all the rust pits, epoxy and filler probably would have been okay but it was at that stage it could well have bubbled through in time. It’s enjoyable to get the welder out and do some bodywork. If I had better access I’d metal finish it but should get it pretty good with a bit more fettling.
