Wow this almost sounds as bad as mine but as I'm light on cash ATM all the work will be carried out by my father in the garage over the next month, mine needs tank out to get to infected areas and engine removed to get to a hole causing a water leak, 30% done now tho

Daaaamn!... You've had to go deep with this one... Shame.  :sad:

As I said recently, it's getting common with older cars that have been resprayed, people seem to tart them up long enough to last their ownership, not to last the life of the car.

Hope the original purchase price wasn't too expensive!

At least if this car comes up for sale again in the future, we'll know it's been in good hands now.
