A '92 Turbo II convertable, left outside in the UK for 10 years, is likely to rust a little! Mine failed it's MOT in 2001. Here are some details on what happened
|
|
Inner nearside wheelarch. Note the yellow crayon from the MOT man! Plan is to patch this with a short length of flat bar. |
|
|
Same hole, different view |
|
|
The most obvious problem, rust at the end of the sill, in the wheelarch. |
|
|
The above leak has rusted through the rear section of the sill from inside. Here I've cut away the damaged section. |
|
|
Underneath, the floor has come completely detatched from the sill. The sill itself is virtually un-damaged, the rust seeming to be solely along the line of the filler used from above to fill the gap. |
