    Hi all so done some more poking for rust and found two small patches, so easy repair thankfully.

    Well done on the new gsi. It looks like you need to strip all the underseal off the whole car to properly see what's hiding. I see rust on the sills so if it were me I would take the skirts and bumpers off to check behind them also.

    The plan is to do things bit by bit as its an on going project so, firstly to tackle the obvious problem areas first.

    I'd have a look in the rear arches behind the struts as well, dirt/ underseal seems to hide rust behind them.

    So in the interior there was a nasty slice in the rear seat, so sent it off to get re-covered and really happy with the result.

    Where did you get the re-trim done, looks to be a good match to the other material, is it?
    If Carlsberg did Motor clubs, then IDMC would probably be the best motor club in the world.
