Yes, definitely check for rust. I've spent ages sorting mine, all minor surface stuff though, but it's all in the prep! These cars are surprisingly rust resistant compared to some horror stories I've seen on the net (including a 99 T reg Merc C36 which had a rotten sill and collapsed jacking points), but the paint and galvanising could be giving up the struggle in places due to years of abuse. Get the side skirts off and have a look under there too. Also check where numpties might have jacked the car in the wrong place - on the floor or on the chassis rails. Damage can cause rust to start.

Driver side square jacking point crushed and the corner where it creased is rusted through good job I like welding lol
Gonna seam weld an inch miss an inch on the subframe whilst it off then go round the whole engine bay the same just to stiffen it up a smidge top mount chassis is good but might plate it with 3mm whilst there to make sure it doesn't go in my lifetime
I love seam welding it's has to be the most satisfying job!!
Both front wings are original probably why they havn't rusted yet
Thanks for the replys
Does any one have a pair of oval solid top mounts I can template have access to a cnc plasma and water table , i would do some as a group buy for cost ?
Also any other bits, can cut up to an inch clean through and quick turn around
Cheers
Dave

personally, i think they would be too harsh for a road car.

just the bbm bottom mount and the shimmed up top mount would be ideal Thumbs up

Pull the lower arm down and take the balljoint out of the hub. Measure the width of the balljoint (the part that sits in the huCool, the top part will either be 16mm or 18mm in diameter
