Rusty sill exhaust MOT

[Dazl1212]

On friday morning i decided to see how bad the rust on my sill was so i stabbed it with a key and this happened

Then on saturday the exhaust rusted arounf my backbox so new midsection is £90 fitted.
To top it off my MOT expires at the end of june. Seriously with this welding of the rust etc am i looking at having to scrap the car? Is their anythingf to look for that they normally fail on?
Iv have just had a scare with the bus incident and the car is starting to come together.

nah a little bit of rust aint something to scrap a car over. just get the sills plated to pass mot then you got 12months to sort them out properly

Yeah i was hoping someone said that! I dont wanna scrap the car its just starting to look how i want! Plus having a shitty 1.0 picanto showed me how much i like the car

 

[gldnandy1987]

nothin to worry about. just get it plated over. no sense in scrappin a car over somethin like that. good luck with it

Cheers mate is there anywhere else where rust is bad on them?

 

[gldnandy1987]

rear seat belt mounts, arches, check inner arches on rear, rear strut mounts.

All right daz, lift your boot carpet up and inspect carefully around the sides and also lift your rear seats up you would be surprised!
