Oh

The rust starting to bubble thru both rear arches - so its may not be just welding those 2 holes.

I prefer to cut out parts of both arches bubbling thru + the rear wing (with 2holes) and weld all that in.

Your brave using rust converters in this weather.
From my experience they are next to useless due to the moisture in the air and coldness. Unless i use infrared to speed it up and it seems to last well.

One more application of Dinitrol tomorrow -

Well
Foam to make own rear light gaskets STILL not arrived from eBay

So
Can only clean them up for now (lights):

Still rainwater in lights due to leaks.
Thanks to member "Pushki" recommendation to place lights on radiator to dry ...

Cleaning products:

Done!

Ref front Fog lights

Still cant get the blasted screws off the back of fogs to check bulbs! Grrrr

Tried:
1. WD40
2. De-rust
3. Anti AND Clockwise turns
4. Whack with hammer
5. Not keen on heating it nor drill it out ...

Plan B
- buy multi meter to check voltage
- if voltage then "maybe" buy new fogs
- if no voltage, will leave it.

Which screw is it you need to get out? Is it the top rusty bolt that we can see in that bottom pic?

The 2 Philips on the back of the plastic cover.
These need to be removed to access the bulb to replace

Left bottom screw
And top right screw (just hidden by fog light bracket)

Ah ok, I was going to suggest an impact gun, but an air normal impact gun would probably just strip the heads off those and you couldn't use one of the kind that you hit the back of with a hammer (less likely to strip the head) because you'd effectively be hitting against the glass and that would just smash.

An electric impact gun should work fine though.

Otherwise brute force is the only way I'm afraid.
