I know the 'early' MK3's suffered from the bottom of the doors going rusty and Ford sorted it in the end.

Im guessing an 03 plate wouldn't count as a early MK3 as I believe they first arrived on a Y plate?

Thanks y'all

Hi i ve got 03 plate and bottom of all doors is just lets call it not nice looking..
Gotta check if it is earlier model but rust is there.. All i did was just a bit of rust converter(can get it from halfords) on it it turns the rusted metal to black
So after i put a bit more than sand paper job and repaint not a big deal..
