View Full Version : Places to look for rust on a R9?
I noticed there was no section for checking out the bodywork for a 9?
Anyone got any pointers?

wings where they meet the bumper line at the front.
front sills usually rust on the inside collapsing the jacking points
behind the front wing plastic shields where mud collects over the years
thats all i had on my 9 , quite impressed how well it stood in 22years tbh .
Yeah mine is pretty much mint, apart from it has had two little sqaures welded near the strut top/f wing, not sure why

The rear chassis leg where the fuel breather and pipes go through is where mine is the worst. The A post where the bottom door hinge connects.
Mint, just had my MOT done, not one spot of rust underneath - never been welded either.
Like a brand new car....
Only place where there is corrosion is where the door stop latch connects to the A pillar, and two small patches on the front struts..
