Yeah, was considering just replacing it with the late model windscreen, won't have the nice chrome, but at least it won't rust. It's a pretty rust-free car, I'm guessing the main cause of it being this bad would be a combination of a dodgy windscreen replacement as well as the previous owners attempts to cover it up when it started to show, just trapping moisture making it worse. Even the wells in the boot on this car are rust free.
Has anyone here repaired similar rust recently? how much does a repair like this cost? I'm guessing somewhere in the realm of over 2 grand considering it would take quite a large amount of metal work. Joys of owning a 50-year-old car I suppose, if only it was as untouched as my 244, I guess I can't complain, I've gotten away with buying 2x 50-year-old cars at online salvage auction without either having any significant rust.
