    Yes, I have a bit of rust where the spotwelds are, but it's a 98GU.
    Seeing as yours has been bogged in very salty mud, I would be having a good look under, maybe that's ya gearbox problem, better get that chassis hosed out asap
    Cheers, the ferret.

    Yep found some 5 cent piece size spots in my gutters. Very good spot for it.

    Check the rear slide side windows on the bottom as well.

    No nothing on top. The water just sits in the gutter and the previous owner didnt use it much so stagnant car with water in gutters are asking for rust.

    Mine has no rust in the gutters luckily. Also very minimal rust in the rear windows too but I want to replace those with solid units anyway, so would get rid of that rust at that stage.

    Open the barn doors and gently pull off the rubber seal sitting against the body (at roof height)

    Rust?
