Sad to see though pal. Jacking point was the first area on Red to go.

Less of the death march.............Zed is not going the way of the red one...He is being repaired

Front jacking points are very vulnerable to the tin worm, I treated mine last year, there were no holes but I was surprised at how much rust was there, I also removed the rubber bungs inboard from the jacking points, there was a lot of water in there which had probably contributed to the rusting, I left the bungs out, and flooded the box section with wax.

Not good, I noticed both sides of the black one looking rough when I was doing the exhaust the other week, Think I will make cleaning them up a priority.

A before picture of mine, the 2 holes in the bottom left corner are normally plugged with rubber bungs, I left these out when I'd finished, I also opened up the drain hole, to try and prevent the drain hole getting blocked.

Shame, but a good welder back as good as new.

Yep all mine have looked like petes to varying degrees, soon sorted with wire brush on a drill, rust treatment and underseal. Don't understand how some have managed to hope through unless they go swimming in the sea regular

Glad mines not the only one, will take the bungs out tomorrow, as well as checking the other side.....monday one of my customers will be asked for a quote, a few bit of metal and a few minutes welding and he will be as go as new. Then just got to put the side skirts back on....Where do I get new white clips??

[petet16]

I think Rimmers for the clips.
