You are correct in the fact that Coops are indeed galvanised, but these cars are getting on now, and even this type of rust prevention has its limits, it’s as simple as that.
Exactly. Most 20 year old cars will have some rust. The body panels are actually pretty good. It tends to be bits of the chassis floor, flanges and any metalwork dangling in the road salt. Inner wheel arches too.
Plenty of Audi's and VWs around with rusty arches younger than the Coupe.
I am however in the middle of loads of rust removal and a bit of welding at the moment..... Close to finishing though.....
