Rear rusting.

Hi guys,

Decided to look around at some MX5's because I really want one as a fun car! Been looking for a few weeks but didn't want to make a long trip to try one, only to find I can't fit (6ft 5 curse)

Today I found a perfect specimen of a mk2.5 and went to see it. It was in sensational condition except for one problem. The rear arches have started getting small amounts of rust. Looks like it's just surface rust but how big of a cost is it to fix? The car is pretty cheap for it's age, but I don't want a huge expense on repairing the arches. I'm a patient guy so I can wait for the right one if it's a huge job.

Also, I fit in it! OK my knees have to go either side of the wheel but I can get a smaller wheel. It feels amazing to know I can actually fit in one.

Cheers!

Cheers all.

The car sold the next day to someone else, but I'm not overly sad about it. I now have my heart set on getting one, though. Either a MK1 or MK2. Time to shop around.
