More rust pictures. The rear towing eye rot is pretty epic. Need to get the underpinnings of the car welded up first, but there are quite a few areas on the bodywork pictured here. Bonnet underside, tailgate corners, drivers door corner, arch, behind the offside headlight, etc...
Pics:
Valve cover after scrubbing up with acid and cif and other random things, and smoothed off the raised bits to make them shiny. Need to do something with the intake manifold too, but as you can see from the above (and the pictures in post #1) there are important matters to attend to first.![Smile :) :)](/styles/default/xenforo/vbSmilies/Normal/smile.gif)

Pics:
Nearside rear passenger door, may scrub up.
Don't think I'll be scrubbing this up! (near rear towing eye, very common)
Nearside rear arch. I thought it was just surface blistering, but I gave it a forceful prod and oh...![Stick Out Tongue :p :p](/styles/default/xenforo/vbSmilies/Normal/tongue.gif)
Near corners of rear lights under tailgate. Bit unusual! Need to take the lights out and see if it extends further.
Bits of the tailgate
Underside of bonnet
Blister on drivers door corner, may scrub up.
Behind headlight. Not too bad.
