Removing the bumper beam I could now see inside the chassis legs :nooo:
The Left hand chassis leg was in a much worse condition inside than the right one!
Probably no, mine wasn't. The only way is to take the wing stays off, removing the bumper supports to look inside gives a false sense of security.pierrebear said:Sorry for the undoubtedly incredibly thick question...but would stuff like this have been addressed in a full glass out respray by a reputable bodyshop? Mine was resprayed just before I bought it and (not being very technical/DIY-minded) I am hoping for some reassurance that it'll no doubt be alright :dont know:

Ouch, that looks a bit nasty I'm sure they will be like new once repaired.
I was a lot luckier with mine a month ago, perhaps a sheltered life has helped them.
Keep up the good work and post regular updates :thumb:
There are some good products out there for rust prevention once completed.
I used Bilt Hamber Electrox 93% zinc primer before the top coats and sprayed with about 6 coats of Dynax S50 to all plates and in the cavities once all work completed.
Looks like it will last forever.
Good luck :thumb:
