OK, it seems there have been a couple of topics about rust lately, so having only had my S for a few months I thought I'd check it out....... only thing is, I don't know how bad what I'm looking at is!!!

Can I have people's thoughts and advice please? (FYI, W-reg - year 2000)

Cheers in advance!

You have nothing to worry about, if it bothers you clean them up with wire brush and paint them with waxoyl.

 

Dont worry about the arms, If i was bored I'd clean them and paint them but Im NOT that bored

 

Some of us have powder coated them mate.. don't fret, it's just part and parcel of having a car we love

 

Normal.

 

Looks like the underside of mine!

 

mine is just the same.

One day, when i've got time, I'll take it all apart, send it for powder coating then back together, geo done, etc etc.

 

I agree with Rich, AJ, Steve and Ian - Totally normal.

Your bodywork looks in good condition though which is a bonus

Now might be a good time to get your main bushes greased up though.
