hi,
i found some rot on my seicento and i would like to see what you guys think about it. basically i'd like to put a roll cage into the car, and since it's an expensive-ish thing to do, i'd like to get another 2-3 years of use out of the car. i like the car and i don't mind welding some plates on every once in a while, but if i have to replace the entire floor within a year then i'd rather get rid of it and get something else....
anyway, boot/trunk floor is fine, rear wheel arches have the typical rot in the back corners, everything else is mostly surface rust (i tried poking with a screwdriver). underside of doors and everything else is good. i discovered a hole in the floor a few days ago, you can see the size in the photo (it's towards the edge of the car, on the outer most (of the 4) "rails"). another thing to note is that the car bends when jacked up - you can't easily open the driver's door when jacking up the car (passenger side is better).
so, what do you think?
thanks and happy holidays!
