bouver 0 Posted June 26, 2010 I have just packed up for the night working on Project Dimma. I am restoring a 1989 Dimma Cti to its former glory, the trouble is the more I look the more tinworm I find! It is getting me down a bit. I took a part out of the shed yesterday, it is part of the roof that sits above the windscreen when the hood is fitted. Less than a year ago I sand blasted it back to bare metal, treated it with a 50/50 mix of phosphoric acid and methylated spirit (phosphoric acid is the active ingrediant in any rust killer) primed and painted it. Now it is rusting again, small bubbles have appeared and I wire brushed them to find tin worm alive and well underneath! I have also found another hole in the front of the car, its an easy enough repair but just one to add to the list. Does anyone make repair panels for 205's? Also has anyone got any good ideas on how to keep rust at bay? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paulmac19 4 Posted June 26, 2010 The top panel on the roof does rot I have heard of some members on here that have had new ones re-manufactured by making a template of there old one maybe someone like Henry York could point you in the right direction as for repair body panels try these guys, but i think you will have to go through a motor factors to get parts from them but the parts they supply seem to be pretty well thought off on the forum i had asked the question of their quality and had nothing but good reports back try these Don't let it get you down if you owned a twenty year old ford you would know what tin worm really was Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JRL 14 1 Cars Posted June 26, 2010 Dont let it get you down mate! all the 205 i have owned have had to have some treatment on the shell of some sort. My brother is in to old fiats and lancias the rust on those is just a joke same as old fords. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
