Hi all,
having been laid up for a few years recovering from an RTA; naturally my old girl HCPU 200tdi has lain up with me. Whilst I've recovered well ; she has not faired so well.
Bulkhead was rotten so I decided to strip her out and got carried away.....
Attached is a photo of the N/S spring mount that looks well corroded - the rust is about 2mm thick and flaking in places. I know rust tends to 'bulk up' and looks worse than it is but I'm unsure whether there is 10 more years in her or not once I paint and waxoyl.
The rear x member is shot and there is one 50p sized hole in both front outriggers. One rear outrigger needs replacing.
How can I make a good assessment of the area in Q.?
