Rusty Roof 1

At this point, assignments are due and take up most of my spare time. All the Kombi gets is a wishful look through the study widow.




Not so long ago, I peeled the tarp back and had a look at the roof. Quite a bit of surface rust as you can see.




The gutters didn't look to bad. Except for the right rear corner (above). The rest of the gutters were only surface (below) and should clean up easily.



Here is a closer look at the rear corner, from above and below. Kind of serious looking and in need of new metal. It looks OK from the inside. Hopefully the framework under this rust hasn't been too badly affected.






The outside edge of the gutter along most of the right side is well eaten and will need some attention. I am not sure whether to replace this gutter, or try to rebuild with weld.



 I've been on the hunt for bits and pieces over the last few months and have collected various gutter/roof section clips from across the country, and they should be enough to sort this area out. Just need that welder, and good weather to do the job!!

I'll gather the clips together and take some pics to show you..... next time.....
