elliott 10 Posted March 4, 2012 Attack it from both sides with a grinder, it's the only way you'll know how bad it is. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Abdul 0 Posted March 4, 2012 did you seal it up after taking the paint off? Yeah with the rust treatment. But as above, grind it till there's no rust left. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robo22sri 10 Posted March 4, 2012 my concern is the in the strut :( ---------- Post added at 7:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 7:29 PM ---------- sorry that should say rust in the strut! Will the suspension strut need to be cut off and re welded? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robo22sri 10 Posted March 8, 2012 I had another little look at this and it goes right round to the bottom of the strut inside the boot :( Not looking forward to uncovering the damage :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
