    Thumbs down Rust

    So I was driving into town the other night in the t-18, enjoying the feel of the rainbow velour beneath my ass, when I get pulled over for what I thought was an RBT. Blow in the tube etc, no worries, but then the copper starts hassling me about rust. I thought he was just having a laugh, but he was serious. Long story short, told me not to drive the car again until I have it fixed. Party over.

    Ok, so yes, he may have needed a tetanus shot after leaning on the door, but seriously, as if its that bad I can't drive it.

    Tried to get some pics and have circled the problem areas. Never really noticed it much before - I guess its something that just creeps up on you.

    Anyway, any tips on how I should fix it?

    LOL, I reckon Chris will be salivating over this one.

    And yeah, the bumpers are MINT+++ Not a scratch. Taking offers people.

    The scary thing is, this car does run, and with a new back tyre, is quite capable of doing over 100kph along the local dirt roads.

    Note the outboard motor fuel tank in the passenger seat.

    P.S. I do not own this vehicle, nor am I responsible for its "modifications". The kids next door have been playing with it for a couple of years and its copped a serious beating.
