Hi all,
I am going through the 71 Mustang convertible I bought 4 months ago, I finally got the fenders off and did a cowl leak test. The passenger side Is bone dry but the water came straight in the drivers footwell. It’s coming in from the far front corner, in-line with emergency brake and headlight dimmer. As far as I can tell, it’s an area about the size of a golf ball that needs attention.
My question is, anyone to a partial repair? my budget can’t handle the expense of tearing the cowl out.My thought is, cut the corner off and get a repair in through the space marked in pic….my welder is coming to do quarter panel next week, might have him cut this corner off for inspection…
opinions?
