![]() | ![]() Hi I have had the rust removed but has come back :-( The paint job was about 11 months ago now and the rust is just starting to show again. I think I need someone to cut out the rust and do a 100% repair. All money money money....

As fas as I know all bodies were steel from Ilcas and [at least some] were sprayed at Bertone and assembled at Maggiora. The thickness of the metalsheet was improved in later versions.

![]() | Re: Barchetta rust locations Hi A bit of an update for you, I got hold of the owner that had my B before me, he told me that a women hit the B in a car park on the back drivers wing and thats why I have a bit of rust as it was not fixed as it should have been. No big deal, will get it done at some point soon. Doc Orange peel
