Lower section windscreen rust ....

[GooSe77]

Not sure how to describe it better
My j75 has some massiv rust unter the windscreen and I wan#t to fix this. Are there any threads out there that show what I can expect to find ? I would like to check if this is something I can do here with a friend or if I schould better bring my Toyo to a body workshop .... I'll post a better picture soon

Chances are, if the paint is bubbling there's more rust hidden underneath. The real only way to tell is to pull the glass and inspect the lip. Careful with scratching the underside. If you can find a donner channel then simply cut out all the rot and weld in the new piece. best if you can use a seam sealer and weld through primer from the inside of the lip, under the dash, to prevent rust.

Hello,

x2.

Have the windshield removed for better corrosion assessment.

Panels are still available from Toyota. You can cut the corroded parts and replace them.

If you want an idea what it probably looks like under there, you can have a look at my build thread - there's a painful look at what two 2 euro coin-sized rust bubbles turned out to be. The windshield stuff starts on page 2:

Very motivating! Not only to have fun with the upgrades but the memories of those who helped you. Those poor buggers are STILL helping me with my crap :lol:

THX, I beliefe it will be more since I already have holes and some more bubbles under the paint ....
And it will be even more work, since I can't take of the frame .... it's part of the body :-(
