yeah some places the metal was thin but nothing to worry about!
The water sits between the flat spot on the boot to spare wheel its like a few drops a night, but its coming through somewhere? I still think its the rear wiper mount I'm going to take it off and see if there is rust behind it.
I'm waiting for parts like the gaskets for the lock and light housing, also the new square pegs for the self tappers which are going to be stainless ones to replace the old steel ones.
I'm consdering filling up both reg holes and just have stick on plates like the Rallye its cleaner and I wouldn't need to worry about any more holes for water to go down. But spending more money on a set of plates for the MOT.
I'm curently hunting for a set of new light housing clear plastics as VAG made these obsolite

I've got slight cracking on the plastics and at some point the bulb had sat on the plastic melting it slightly.
Did have to drill out two pegs and screws well rusted on thought I might have to snap the reg plate at one point I hate body work give me engine work anytime!
Still got wheel arch to do, but peeled it back and have nice solid arches thank god!
