You've been busy there mate.. Nice one. Looks clean the bit you've done. I bet that's put your mind at rest to know it's just surface rust. Hope you finally get the abs sorted though.. That's been a pain ey. Those wheel nuts do look better with the standard wheels.

Decided to start getting to work on DD! After being underneath her trying to suss out the ABS fault, I noticed she had a fair bit of surface rust at the rear. Before we moved down here, I'd done rust treatment then fresh underseal from the front of the car up to where it stops at the rear arches, but never got round to doing from there to the back. Front still looks in decent shape, as do the floor pans etc. So decided I needed to get to work on getting this done. Have started on the drivers side wheel arch/inner arch and suspension. Got it all buffed down with the grinder/wire brush wheel and it was nowhere near as bad as i thought. Metal beneath the surface rust was still nice and shiney. So rust treatment to the arches/inner arch and the suspension, followed up with a good coat of red oxide paint. Then on with a fresh coat of underseal. Did the suspension arms etc in satin black paint. Looking pretty decent for an old girl! This shows what's still to be done and compares to the drivers side that I've almost finished. The drivers side looked as bad as this when I started Another small detail that's been bugging me since she's been on her winter-standard alloys was I'd lost the original small chrome wheel nuts. Had been using the extended ones that the Cades alloys need, but these stuck out too far and were rusty as hell. So, ordered up some nice new OEM ones for her. A little detail but one that I think makes a big difference. And just a couple of her how she sits just now Have also refitted the OEM sunroof wind deflector as the water leak she has when it rains isn't coming from the sunroof. narrowed it down to around the top of the windscreen where it's getting the top drivers side corner of the roof lining wet. Another job o the list! Tking the rear calipers off too to give them a good clean (have also rust treated them) before giving them a nice coat of silver VHT paint. Going to take of the O/S Brake disc while I'm t it to get better access to clen the abs ring as it's difficult to do just through the small gap where the abs sensor sits. Hoping that solves the ABs issue but we'll wait and see! Still happy that even though she's now 24 years old, she's still never had or needs any welding. really good nick!
