   hi guys, made the biggest mistake the other day and decided to take the car through the car wash. well all of a sudden there was water coming through the interior light, got out and discovered that the area around my aerial has rusted through and i have a tastey 20p sized hole there. just wondering if anyone can suggest the best filler to use thanks guys

   lol i wish i knew where to begin and i hear welding can be an expensive task or would something so small be a cheaper task?

   the welding will be the cheaper part but won't be cheap, I'd expect the paint to be more expensive

   paints not a problem as im looking for a full re-spray later in the year, so that and wait. may aswel do all the patches of rust in one hit. would you suggest welding all the rust or just the holes and sand and fill the smaller bubbling etc thanks.

   do a proper job first time sand all rusty patches to bare metal then weld them and grind flush prep to nice finish and just flick it in to keep wheather of it!
