Windscreen frame rust

[schoey]

Just wondering which way to start attacking the rust in my sierra, all the rust is in removable panels eg windscreen frame and windscreen frame supports (soft top).

So do I cut and fill or go to a wreckers and find good condition replacements? I hate trying to fix rust as it often reappears, so option 2 is appealing. I also just found this, http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll ... gory=34166 and was wondering if this is a good/bad idea?

i hate doing rust work so i'd be all over replacing panels

I got told that it was not worth while fixing the windscreen surround - better to just replace it.

You may also want to consider just replacing all the parts or replacing the whole body... i got a whole body / chassis for under two hundred bucks, then sourced another body to get a spare set of doors and windscreen surround from - i guess it just pays to know people (i.e. i found these through the suzuki club).

Apparently you can also get a fibreglass windscreen surround for a sierra from somewhere in QLD - not sure what the company name is - but they are meant to be less than 200 i think.

Thanks nook,
I rang those guys up $396 for the windcreen frame, I think I'll bog it till there nothing left then start thinking about a replacement.
