Good old rustscorts

 

You dont want to be looking in the Sunroof Cavity then or above the Pedal Cluster.

Just get a screwdriver and gently prod the hump infront of the Windscreen Wiper Motor.

Sorry to be so negative.

 

Check the battery tray area as well if your having some work done. Might be worth adding that to your list.

 

rich i had the battery area done when i first bought the car, only new it had gone when loads of water started comin in, it was like bein sat in a bath

full car looks ok

 

ffs dont take ya carpets out

 

looks like your going to find LOTS more once you start looking all over.

better off stripping the interior out and having a good look. safer to get it done now than risk your life with a rusty seat mounting or similar.

 

what ya cant see cant hurt ya

what ya do see will only make ya paranoid and then ya start looking for problems ect

 

Either get it all done at once or don't bother at all. You'll be paying out forever doing a bit at a time.

Resto it!

 

It's amazing what the kit hides. I ended up having new rear arches and a new back panel when i had mine painted.

 

You'll also pay a fortune doing a bit at a time.

PS, Ł300 for a rear quarter what did he do? hand paint then polish it!

 

Im quite suprised for an H plate one as well, normally there abit better being a few years younger. doing it in one hit is alot better than a bit at a time and doing most of the striping will save you money as well
pmsl @ that though

 

Don't mean shit imo. I've had two G reg's both clean, and one H plate shit box. It's all about how they are looked after etc IMO
