Hey guys I just picked up a bt1 for a hundred dollars so as you can imagine its not in the greatest condition the body is straight but there is a fair bit of rust around the windscreen it was only visible once the glass was taken out though just want to know if it is fixable and how much or how hard it is to do i'll try and post pics soon cheers.

Not sure it doesn't look like it has the quarters don't have bog but the front bumper has been hit not too hard though just needs a new bumper, just worried about the rust around the windscreen now its not too bad but looks hard to fix

It's a bit hard to tell from those pics. Have you checked inside the boot as well?

it looks pretty bad but should be able to weld and bog it up pretty easy. My rear windscreen was almost that bad so i got a roof cut off a VL from the wreckers and cut the bits off i needed to fill.
