Hi all
Have owned my 1991 C2 for 6 months now and loved every second of it.The car runs superbly and the bodywork appears to be excellent for a car of this age with only a few marks on the paintwork. Today I was on my hands and knees looking up into the rear nearside wheel arch towards the rear wheel, and to my horror found a considerable amount of rust and a small hole in what appears to be part of the underside bodywork which starts under what seems to be a rubber sealing strip under the chassis rail and goes under the car in front of what I think is the catalyst. This is not part of the chassis which is in excellent condition but does seem to be an integal part of the car. The rest of the car is immaculate with no hint of rust anywhere. There is no evidence of accident damage, and I understand these cars are galvanised from new. Hope I have explained clearly enough, but his has got me into a panic now. Please could anyone reassure me that this is not cause for grave concern (or otherwise) or indeed an mot failure. Dave
