bought a 1.4 si for $550 on sunday looked really clean and tidy got it home and cuz of weather could not do any thing till wednesday took the boot carpet out and started poking wiv my screwdriver and it felt like the boot was made of paper the whole thing just went through there was no metal just rust took it to a garage they said it had been covered by the bumper and a new paint job so it was a classic bodge and they wouldnt repair as it was structural

inside

rear

I went back to the trader who i bought it of and with the threat of trading standards and having all of his cars blown up he gave me my money back and apolagised

I'm glad my car is no where that bad..

Just the joints on the rear valance bit are slightly rusty, cut it off and fit new one and it would be sorted 8-)
