haha it could be as it's the rear chassis leg behind the rear wheel and i don't know how long it's been like that, i didn't poke it anymore just incase

you know how rust holes have this way of fooling you into thinking it's not that bad

On the whole that sounds like a reasonable car that will be a good car after a relatively small amount of work.

I know Paul thinks I scrapped that SD for a little rust, but it was far more than yours has, it was rotten front to back.

Hi Paul

Glad you managed to save the car.
Your assessment of it suggest that it was well worth the effort.
Pleased that Simon took the trouble to offer the car.

John

no problem i'd sooner let her go to the club than the scrapman that doesn't appreciate what we have here. it took a long time for me to decide whether to let her go because it took so long to get an xm.

there is another bit of rust behind the nearside boot trim, it's the seam where the boot joins the inner panel has started to separate

I know that...

When the jack went up through the front of the sill and on removing the ECU box to be greeted with a 3" hole, I knew it was the end.
