Instead of what have you been doing today 

All of my 3.0 elites have had rear wheel arch rot p/f and rust bubbles coming through the front drivers door . Oh and the rear doors behind that rubber strip thingie 
But my 1997 MV 3.0 has no rust 

[pscocoa]

none

    Mine has a little rust at the front bottom of the rear wheel arch and a little bit on the rear nearside door were the seat belt has been trapped at some time, that's about it, although I haven't looked that hard

[Mr.OmegaMan]

Don't like to look 

[omega3000]

Ive still got a 5ltr can of waxoil thats bee in the shed 8 years that will be used on the inside of doors and wheel arches

Mine has tinwork on O/S rear arch, just starting to go on the N/S rear arch too... Drivers door has a slight bubble about the size if a 5p coin....also on the C pillar underneath where the plastic finishing stip is located, at the moment it held on with what looks like double sided foam, so gonna need to remove that and replace with a freshly painted item...

Im waiting on the nice weather to get here for me to tackle it....

I also need to repace the fuel filler flap as that doesn't lock because of the 'keep' being broken...

Very little on my 53 plate MV6.

The wheel arches are perfect.

The main location for rust on mine is where you open the rear doors..... This can't be seen from the outside.

When I was but a 'nipper' our next door neighbour owned a 4 year old Austin 1100.

Both of the front wings and sills were already full of newspaper, wire mesh and Isopon.

So much for "they don't make them like they used to"........Thank God.

The original Vauxhall Viva would slowly dissolve in the showroom as it waited for it's  first owner.

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 

[Webby the Bear]

I have rear O/S wheel arch rust and it's creeping up to the filler cap. A tint spot on't boot lid and a tiny spot on the N/S rear door.

I'll get this sorted in the summer though

[cem_devecioglu]

none..

[cd 2.2]

Only rust I have found on my 03 plate is behind the front wheels on the chassis legs It's mostly surface and not holed anywhere but I'm told they all rust here Oh and on the corner of the top front panel next to the battery (some tit put a huge battery on it that doesn't fit the tray correctly)

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

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

[Webby the Bear]

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)
