Roof rust

I'm looking at buying a rvr, but like all of them that I've seen it also has roof rust.
Has anyone had any experience in getting it repaired?
I know with the cc lancers you buy a roof skin, is this an option with rvr?

Anything is an option...it will depend on your wallet and how much your prepared to pay to get it fixed.

I think you'll always chase the rust once it gets a hold, fixing it is like trying to nail jelly to a wall.
May as well paint it a colour that can be touched up, I went with satin black, but maybe I'm just a lazy dodgy bastard who couldn't be arsed spending money on something that doesn't make power
I used penetrol and put some prep work into mine.

Yeah...I agree...only way to get rid of it, is to replace all the rusted bits with new stuff.

I thought about this a fair bit when we had ours, if you found an RVR wrecking from '91 or '92 and maybe even '93, I'm not sure what year exactly they started putting the rust causing sica in Mitsubishi cars but I'm sure you'll be able to chop and weld anything you needed.
