I'm new to the forum so hello everyone. Looking to buy a Defender 90 - pre-98 300 TDI. Currently looking at a Defender 90 and it seems quite tidy underneath. On the body, apart from some micro-blistering (which I've seen before when I had an old VW camper and I've read is a result of poor preparation and humidity during the paint job??) there are also a few bubbling areas - looks like rust underneath the paintwork?.
My question is: what parts of the Landy body are aluminium, what sort of corrosion is the bubbling and is it likely to break out in a mass of brown rust at some point. Or is it best left alone. Lots of defenders this age seem to suffer from the same problem - even ones a lot younger?
I think I can deal with the micro-blistering if it doesn't get worse.
Thanks
