Citroen Mehari Rust repair
Can the rust in my Citroen Mehari be repaired?
Rust is one of the dreaded problems that face owners of older Citroen Mehari's or Citroen Mehari'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 Citroen Mehari may rust away to nothing!
That’s where rust repairs come in. Depending on the location and severity of rust on your Citroen Mehari, 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 Citroen Mehari 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 Citroen Mehari. You will often be without your Citroen Mehari for a number of days or weeks, depending on the amount of work required. Getting your Citroen Mehari inspected by a professional will guide you on whether these repairs are economical, or if your Citroen Mehari might be better off heading to the great car yard in the sky.
