Default rust

Hi,

i know classic tend to go around the rear arches but i have seen one with mint rear arches but a bubble that hasnt broken the paont yet next to the windscreen.
What i was wondering was is this going to be more expensive than arches to sort because of where it is?
I guess the screen would have to come out to properly treat it.

Has anyone had this done on a scoob or any other car and how much was it?

Thanks

Michael

Mine has gone there, only very very tiny bit, yes to do the job right screen should come out, but using lifting tape and a smart repair it is possiable to remove, how long it will last I couldn't stay.

Hi I have just bought a 53 plate sti type uk. I thought the car was mint untill i lifted her up and noticed alot of surface rust around suspension arms and anti roll bars.
Are these cars prone to rust or have i just been un lucky??

Not just you mate.They all rust underneath.Usually just the i.e. bolt on bits of the chassis(subframes,crossmembers and the like)Usually looks worse than it is
