Rust, rust, rust, I've just about had enough.
Kim's car is rusting along the sills, round the rear wheel arches and the bottom of the rear wings on both sides.
What a pain in the...
Weapons of choice.

The problem sills.
I had a go at them a couple of years ago but need to do the job more thoroughly.

After a bit of wire brushing with the angle grinder I has this.

I then coated with rust eater, then cleaned and dried with a heat gun ready for the epoxy primer.

Next a couple of hours of rust eater, multiple applications and agitation.

And then the epoxy paint again.

I'm going to wait for a donor wing section and weld it in before I block, colour coat and clear.
Right that is one side done, on to the other side.
This is my donor for the other side.

Was it driven on salted roads? I live in Louisiana, and in the US, we don't have salted roads in the Southern States and we don't buy cars from those states that have them. I don't know whether or not you have a choice in the UK. I do, however have a saltwater boat which has a galvanized trailer and still, we always hose them down very well after we pick them up out of the salt water. My car was from Dallas, Tx and is does not have even a hint of rust anywhere. Good luck with your project.

I had a simular problem last year. I dropped it off for 3 weeks ad saw it 6 weeks later (At the pre-agreed price dispite the extra work needed) Rear arches needed replacing (Ford Transit are the right curvature and depth).
Boot rotted out at bottom of saddlebags and the slide/ guides that retain the front of the rear bumber had rotted away. Everything was repaired and waxoil coated.
For extra protection a mixture of fibreglass and metal filler was used to fill the boot sable bags and to put a fillet on the arch returns, to stop them rotting from the inside.

don't know why it isn't more popular in the UK.
