Post pics of the rustiest Focus you have seen.

I seen a V plate white focus yesterday that was unbelievably rusty but didn't manage to get a pic.

the back doors on my dads 2005 low miler focus tdci, where bubbling a wee bit at 3yrs old. rang up to benefit from the 12yr paint garuantee, and they said as it never came in on its 3rd year service, it wouldnt have gotten its "paint check" and therefore the paint garuantee was void. Cunts.

The paintwork on my brand new fiesta i bought in may, is shocking for a new car. Orange peely as fuck!

Mine when I had it.

Passenger side sill, the driver side was fine.
The doors were also shot on the "clinched flange" but I replaced them.

This is (was as sold it now) a 1999 V reg. The pics are from last year so the car was 14 years old at the time.





















You can see the shitty pathetic attempts at factory rust proofing, a little tiny dribble of wax in some of the photos. I loved the car but just couldn't get my head round how it had rusted, I thought that Ford would have sorted out the rustproofing by the late 90's.

There must be loads of MK1's bobbing about with rotted sills invisible under the plastic sill covers.
