I am glad to report that still no rust/corrosion anywhere on my 745 after all these years except just one minute spot on the passenger floor pan outer overlap double skin section before the turn of the shaft tunnel which was only about 10 x 5mm and easily welded up for this year's MOT. The inner panel was as sound as a bell. I do have to admit that the car has never been driven North of the River Thames in Winter! My vote goes for mudflaps. Bob |

Reminds me Bob, i must sort my mudflaps out.
One of the best alternatives i've seen to mudflaps are the spats in front of the rear wheels or sill mouldings that cause a vortex ahead of the wheel. This pulls the spray away from the wheel and outwaords away from the car and anything following - quite amazing to watch on the road and nicer looking than mudflaps.

More details tomorrow. It's scruffy bodily, but seems honest. Suits my brother really as it won't be a show car, but hopefully won't be abused either.
You should see the service history that came with it... every MOT, every receipt, even the quotation for the car before it was ordered. It's done more than 276k miles, so there's been a lot of servicing... and it still feels tight and runs well. Some niggles to sort... predictably the A/C doesn't work, interior light is either on or off (regardless of door switches), a couple of doorcards are wrinkly and it's missing one of the door handle plastic inserts. Nothing major, welding aside Last edited by tofufi; Oct 19th, 2018 at 23:02. |
