Very Very Nice.

[blackv6]

ony bad bit on the car what do you think surface or more?

[Gaz]

thats more than surface, if you start hacking away you will leave a hole.

[Greig Sri]

Good find with that car. Like Gaz says the rust will be a lot worse in side the arch. Thay rot from the inside and the side skirts can hide a lot.
