(expensive) problem.Read a few threads on various forums, seen pictures of the work required, heard many-a horror story about cars that, from the outside look like you could eat your lunch off, look genuinely cared for being scrapped.
And then theres the price associated with a professional fix.
Needless to say, since I stupidly didn't check mine before I bought it, got me a little worried.So last night, I suckered up the courage, went down to my freaky spider infested garage
(I say infested, theres one, this fat b1tch who does nothing but procreate) lay down on the cold hard floor, light on phone, head under and checked.Im happy to report, there isn't a scrap of rust on the sills.
But then again it shouldn't surprise me because checking through my old MOTs the car has only been driven just under 4000 miles in 4 years, and spent the majority of its UK life under a waterproof cover on the previous owners driveway. However, and I could be being over cautious, but its kind of not making me want to drive the car in anything other than pristine weather.
Which would severely hamper the ownership of in my eyes a perfect little sports car.Are there ways to prevent the sill rust? Undersealing? Prevention is better than a cure surely?
Or am I being too overcautious and making this bigger than it needs to be?
