"SURFACE RUST": I've decided that the term "surface rust" is the equivalent of 'renovators delight' in real estate speak. Surface rust can mean there is a bit rust on the surface - no surprises there. But, it can also mean, it's as rusty as crap and unrepairable.
Rooted Windscreen Panel 1: This it the original windscreen panel, it was straight but had a serious rust issues. So I had a local sheetmetal place fold me up a piece that I could cut up and use to make patches out. The only problem was that by the time I had welded in 5 or 6 patches, I had managed to warp the panel, so it looked like it had a series of waves across it. This might have been repairable by a professional, but was on beyond my skill set. So I picked myself up a replacement panel that apparently had a bit of 'surface rust'.
