been going over this in my head and can't make a decision.
my mk3 is my weekend/holidaying drive car so isn't essential to me getting around.. after slowly fixing her up the next big thing on my list is fixing the rust..
She's got..
Passenger floorpan
Both sills, particularly under the sill covers - about a foot back from the arches needs attention
Sill rusty right up to the front where the front wheel arches connect (that tiny bottom panel is crunchy like cornflakes)
aaaaand I haven't had the balls to take my arch covers off yet. When I peeked from the inside they didn't look too bad but a bit of flash rust, but i daren't look closer for what I might find!!!
And I don't know if I should sort them now, or wait till summer's over and carry on driving her until then, and then get them sorted.
Friend of a friend quoted only £80-100 depending how much has to be ground back which really isn't too bad. That's not including the arches, but I'd rather get it all done at the same time. Don't know if he can also paint them back up or someone who works for him can, so I'm budgeting for that too.
He did the MOT too and was exclaiming on about how good the body is, how little rust for a mk3 rotbox, so I'm hoping actually the majority of her won't be too bad at all.. but you never know do ya..
So. Now or over winter? Discuss!
