| Cento Boy  | Rust Yeah, it's a problem that is haunting me at the moment. I have some dodgy rust spots on the wheel arches. How do I get rid of them? I was thinking if I sand it all back and whack some hammerite on? But what about re-painting? Thanks in advance, Sie Black 96P Cinq Sporting OMP Strut Brace, Apex -40mm kit, GSR F1i Induction, Pioneer ICE

| mad bad and very very old  | It does happen, I have spent the last two weeks removing underseal from mine and there are lots of rusty bits under the underseal. To improve your car, sand or wire brush the corrosion until you get to shiny, but lumpy metal. Keep going till you get to the shiny stuff. Skim of filler, then sand smooth, prime and paint. Don't be tempted to leave either filler or primer on the car without a top coat. They are both porous. If you have to do the job in stages be prepared for a flat back each time. Cheers D Grumpy old git going fast downhill rather than downhill fast!!

| Cento Boy | after the "grounding" incident at Stanford, I'm gonna have to rustproof where the underseal has been ripped off. Same apply as the above on the wheel arches? The metal is shiny so will a quick layer of hammerite do? What products are good and more importantly, value for money?

| Principality Retained :) | Well, currently she has no oil (it was full of crap and stunk of petrol due to an accident with a fuel line and an absence of the rocker cover!!), im just leaving the RTV to set prior to refilling it. It still needs retiming, then its being blasted!

 | From my own (expensive) experience, do a mile or two first then go home and check it all over. If all seems well, them go a little further. Pete. Links: 1242cc cinq, turbo cinq, Cinqs&Seis forum, Clubcento

| i had a rust spot in my cinq on the back of me car in the boot so i just put oil on it and now it seems to be better is that an okay way about doing it. it is less rusty brown and more black and i feel it has stopped. i am going to keep my eye on it i hope it does not spread.
