So.

There have been a few bits where it is starting to fray round the edges.

Now I've got the time to sort it, I thought I'd have a look.

The rear wheel arch liners are made out of fuzzy felt and hold water. Not good on a Ford.

Cill cover removed, clean as a whistle rot wise. I'll clean it and waxoyl it.


Bit of fraying round the rear arch.


Also some surface rot where the arch liners sit in the arch.






Hopefully I'll be able to brush the surface rust out with a cup brush in the mini grinder and re-paint. Not bad though considering she is 13 years old. Previous Fords I've had at much younger age have been worse. Stupid design of the water holding fuzzy felt and I reckon it'd be completely rust free.

Glad I've, hopefully caught it in time.

What else has happened in the three and half'ish years; the Kenlowe Hotstart has come and was sold as I WAS a natts cock away from getting rid of the car. She has also got 153,000 on the clock now.
