Is this a common thing for the Fox? If so, is there a good waay to get in there and clean it out/repaint? I looks like the top panel is welded on and access from the grill is so-so.

Thanks!

cut the welds, do what ya gotta do, and reweld.

Are you talking about inside the cowl? Like under the grill piece right before the hood? I would guess that most of the time rust in there would be caused by old leaves, etc.

Mine's got it too. I was just going to sand and repaint.....

Yeah, that's the area I'm talking about. Its just that getting in there through the wiper access panel isn't the greatest approach. I was hoping maybe you could access it with a fender off of something. Cutting the welds may be the best way to go, but I'm really not in to that at the moment. The entire car could use a respray so maybe in a couple years I'll do it right. For the moment I'll do what I can through the hole. Its not very bad, just surface here and there.

I was thinking about using an air brush to get in the tight spots, but sanding (and the underside of the panel) will be challenging.

Thanks for the input!
