Hi All,

I started some minor rust repairs on my cowl vent this morning and by this afternoon they had turned into major repairs.I'm after the section of the cowl from just inside the driver's side wiper to just inside the passenger side wiper, see pic


the pic's are actually of my donor ute but the rust in the cowl turned out to be worse than mine (underneath all the bog) so the search continues.If anyone has one or knows where I can get one it'd be much appreciated.

Cheers

P.S I live at Mt Warrigal near Wollongong
