Poor thing.

Wow
That's bad!

ZedTeeT · 1st March 2019, 20:11

Ouch, now that is a bit naughty! Worst I've seen.

Probably from lack of washing rather than mudflaps, none of mine with mudflaps have gone like that!

At first glance the car looks like it's in decent shape. The paintwork looks acceptable and the interior is excellent. But that rust is definitely pretty bad. I wonder if it'll get saved or scrapped? Also, the rust is in those dirt trap spots I posted about the other day, which is why it's worth giving them a clean out.

If it ends up going for spares, I could always do with a sandstone interior...

Decent used wings are dirt cheap and bolt on so no need to even consider scrapping it.

I just hope the underside is in good nick, hopefully it's just the wings.
