Alfa Romeo Spider Rust repair
Can the rust in my Alfa Romeo Spider be repaired?
Rust is one of the dreaded problems that face owners of older Alfa Romeo Spider's or Alfa Romeo Spider's that are driven in salty conditions. Often occurring in areas that trap moisture, such as behind quarter panels and underneath windscreens, the visible signs of rust include bubbling paint and brown flaking metal. These areas need to be taken care of, otherwise your Alfa Romeo Spider may rust away to nothing!
That’s where rust repairs come in. Depending on the location and severity of rust on your Alfa Romeo Spider, a simple clean off of surface rust and treatment with a rust converter may be all that is required, or full removal of the rotted metal and replacement with fresh metal if the damage is severe. Depending on where the rust is located, the windscreen or other components may need to be removed from your Alfa Romeo Spider to allow access to the affected area.
Panel repair shops, smash repairers or vehicle restoration businesses are the go-to places to have the rust repaired on your Alfa Romeo Spider. You will often be without your Alfa Romeo Spider for a number of days or weeks, depending on the amount of work required. Getting your Alfa Romeo Spider inspected by a professional will guide you on whether these repairs are economical, or if your Alfa Romeo Spider might be better off heading to the great car yard in the sky.
