B Pillar & corrosion
Hey,

I have a have a small patch of corrosion about the size of a 50p on the bottom of the drivers side B pillar.

I was wondering what the best way of attacking it was.

Can I remove the B pillar as a whole or is it welded in?

Are the doors easy to remove & replace?

Fighting the corrosion, is it the same as usual, sand it back to bare metal, prep & paint? any special preps, treatment etc?

Also does anyone know good suppliers of the LR Zambezi silver, I think thats what it is.

Thanks for looking!!

Good point,

at the bottom of the B pillar theres a rubber bung, remove it and fire it up there, then replace

Cheers,

I'll have a look as soon as I'm home & see if I locate the bung.
