Yeah more than likely, doubt anything will be done about it though unless it gets considerably worse.

On another note I picked up a standard set of springs/shocks from Cully on saturday so hopefully get those fitted on the weekend, stuck a jerry can of 99 ron in too as god knows how old the fuel in there is atm..

As long as it doesn't smell like vinegar when you open the filler cap it'll be alright lol. From what I've seen petrol starts to turn to brown sludge after about 14 years

Ha ha, certainly not 14 years old but probably 2-3 i'd have thought. Still started so couldn't be that bad. 

Just read the whole thread and it's great you managed to buy it back! How come the previous owner didn't use end up driving it?  Also what did you use to wash and wax it? Did you use kurust on the underside and did you seal it with something afterwards? I'm just about to do my inner arches with hydrate80 which is a similar product I think.

Thanks mate. Never ended up being driven as he didn't pass his test, idea was he'd pass it then use the car, but ended up having a kid, moving house etc.. so time ran away. Used meguiars gold class to wash it (great stuff imo) and then think it's called mer(??) wax, it's supposed to last 6 months if you do it properly. 

Jacking points were a little crusty from over the years, so wire brushed off the crap then did a couple of kurust treatments, waited for it to dry and then have just put over a couple coats of grey primer for now, just to keep the water out, will give it some underseal when it's a bit warmer. Rest of the chassis is pretty much rust free (afaik) only other bit that needed some love was the front crossmember, but that's derusted and treated too.

yaaaass good to see it back and that it hasnt really changed much!

Cheers dude, yeah good to see it back just really looking forward to driving it now.
