its solid!!! and i've sanded rust back and treated it - i'm a busy girl with a tiny bit of initiative!!!! Temporarily put arch trim back on cos im too proud to go to uni tom without!! although it took 3 attempts due to arch crumbling underneath! :sad: will apply some hammerite over top tomorrow, luckily arch trim covers it all!  :grin:

As said on msn, it's a peice of piss to do, sand it back, prime it, 4-5 colour coats, 2 lacquer coats. The arch is solid so there is no point in just hammeriting the top of it as it will eat back through the arch wall. Get rid of it whilst you can.
