(Quick) Return of the rust - 17/12/2009 14:13
I had some rust sorted on my Coupe rear arches in early August this year
Unfortunatly the rust has returned after just over 4 months & less than 3000 road miles
As you can see from the photos the Nearside is not too bad – just starting, but the offside is quite bad in relation to the time since it was done.
I fully appreciate rust can return over time, esp over the winter/salted roads etc , but surely not in such a short time/mileage?.
Could this be due to the rust not being completely removed the 1st time round?, I have emailed the person & attached the photos, waiting for a response.
Obviously with the winter now in full swing I need to get this sorted before it gets any worse.
Do you think the job wasn't done properly 1st time & I have a case for asking him to sort it without charge?, with it being only August when he did it?
Thanks in advance
