was giving her a wash & polish the other day when i noticed some paint bubbling around the lower rear of the drivers door sill, right on the corner (see arrow in pic).

 

i wasnt able to put a screwdriver through it but it was bigger then it looked on the outside :rolleyes: i chipped all the paint away (came off easily), cut out a hole so i could see what was going on from inside... it was some welding that was rusting. it ran in a straight line (see rust coloured line in pic) to about an inch inwards from the edge of the sill...

 

anyway i treated, filled & painted over it so it should hold out until i have enough money to get a full respray.

 

just wondered if anyone else has found rust here?? There was none in the same spot on the passengers side :blink: its a j-spec as well but been in the UK for about 4-5 years.
