Rusty restoration

Here we go then. New member and new to 350z ownership. 

 

Thought I'd start a little thread on my battle with corrosion. Looks like I'm in for a hell of a fight, disappointed how much I found under all the plastic covers.

I'm surprised the rear axle managed to stay attached!  Under full load I could see the car parting ways!

 

Keep the faith, many years ago (far too many to mention) I turned a rusty wreck of a capri into a concours winner.  I'd quite like to start another rust bucket project to keep alongside my 370z

I know, glad I decided to look into it. It's been getting driven quite spirited since I got it. 

How the hell it has an MOT I'll never know, that has happened recently. 

 

It looks bad but it's only really that area albeit on both sides. Started the strip down today but waiting to get her on the lift to make life easier.
