I didn't see any rust on my chassis legs when I replaced the crash bar.

another place I do have it though that's just reminded me is the panel behind the rear bumper on the drivers side...



...wondering if this should be repaired or can I get away with leaving it (bearing in mind I want to keep the car a bloody long time)

Get the grinder to it now  as its behind the bumper there is no need to get a professional job done as it won't be seen  just remove the rust then spry it with some grey shutz then if you want to get a can of colour to finish it properly  Job done  BTW nothing on mine as far as I can see. But then again I need to take the bumper off to see this.

My 1990 Astra GTE in Essex White was showing rust at 2yrs old.

It took GM a long time to get on top of the rust problem. Far too long 

I can beat that 

Year 2000 Merc i owned from new.....less than 1 year later was showing rust on both A pillar covers....Merc dealer had in to renew both covers.....12 months laters, they had it back again....to replace covers again! 6 months later i sold it .....

Ohh.....that sounds a bit camp.

Were you a hairdresser in a previous life, Mr TB?.....

I think it was called Glacier White, but at the time, everyone had an XR3i or GTE, and all were white. Essex White

Bottom of driver's door, ns front door has a stone chip rust spot, ns rear near the wheel arch. Both wheel arches are okay, but I do pressure wash any dirt / mud from that area when cleaning the car. At some point I will inspect these more closely to see if they need derusting and repainting with underseal.
