Hiya, I'm budgeting for a respray and some minor rust repair of my old W210, if it were any other auto it'd be at the knackers, but it has a lot of sentimental value to us, we'd hate to see it go. I realise it won't be cheap - but it seems to be a shame to let such a dependable car go to...

Hi I have a 2003 Mercedes C-Class W203, I have the usual problem of rust, I have had a local bodyshop quote me £815 + vat :(, does anybody in the west midlands/Walsall area know of any bodyshop that don't cost the earth? Many Thanks Chris

I bought an 2011 ML 300 4 weeks ago from a dealership. Since then I have notice quite a bit of rust components on the underside of the vehicle, rear cradle, below the sill, gear sump pan are the main areas of concern. Given that the vehicle is only slightly more than three and half years...

I have c200 komp, 52 plate, and have a bit of rust around the arch and corner side of the doors. i want to repair this before it gets worse. does anyone know of any good bodyshops that can sort this out with good price. i dont want to spend half the price of the car to fix it. bought the car...

I discoverd some flaking paint on the bottom of one of my arches today...........the surface that faces down..........I got a bit brutal with the others and discoverd rust under the paint on all four. The cars a keeper so I want the job doing properly. A local bodyshop said they will need to...

Hi All, I recently purchased a S320 2001 although I expected there to be a few minor niggles I was not expecting to find so much rust, I have done some reading and its a common flaw with the w220. What I am finding a little difficult is to locate replacement body panels, the highest priority...

hi I have some rust on the rear arches on my w202 and was wondering how best to tackle it,what products to use etc,i take it I grind it back to bare metal if there is any metal left and then what.

Reason I ask is I saw one today, R reg, silver, which wasn't rusty & looked great for a 17 y.o. car. I spoke to the owner who swore it was all original paint & he hadn't done anything special to it. How can it be that it hasn't gone rusty?

I noticed a few years back that there was a slight bubbling on both front wings of my R129, 2 summers ago I had some time to try and tackle this issue. I basically Sanded down the the rusty bits, used jenolite and Zinc Primer and then spray painted it for an amateur it was not a bad first...

I've used Kurust a far bit in the past, for small bits of corrosion here and there, easy to use and quite effective. I read of Aquasteel on here somewhere and asked a few people in the offshore energy industry about it too. Seems to be regarded as pretty good stuff so I got some to tackle the...

I have just purchased a 2003 230 SLK for my daughter that has only done 49K from new with a full MBSH from a friend of mine who owned it from new and always kept it garaged. The bad news is there are small rust bubbles appearing on the N/S/R wheel arch and with it being an immaculate looking...

Hi guys, Treating a tiny bit of rust on the rear arch before it becomes bad, will be sanding it down to bare metal and then treating with a rust converter, Question is what rust converter, I want to be able to prime over the top with a zinc primer, for extra protection, but not sure how I...

Cash waiting. I'm in Kent but will travel. Thanks

Last summer I had all 4 wheel arches resprayed to remove the rust. I had already treated the rust on the rear wheel arches with a hamerite rust converted, but that was presumably removed by the painter when he stripped, bogged, primed and painted the arches. Assuming he did all steps. My...

Hi All im after a W202 as long as it has no rust. it'll be perfect. recently purchased a C43. considering transfering everything into a new body shell. so if you have a W202 clean body. please get it touch. dont care about engine/gearbox, electrical issues, all that will be scraped. as long...

I think I must have the most unrusty 210 in existence. I've an MOT due in about a month so I've used a few days of the holidays to investigate and solve any rust issues that might affect an MOT. I also want to preserve the car as far as possible and deal with anything asap. I took front and rear...

Stripping down various parts of my W114 restoration project and I'm finding a decent amount of rust. I have been using Kurust to treat it as far as is possible, any better suggestions from people and I'd like to treat every surface on which I've found rust to a good preventative coat of...

Evening all. Just had both sills, floor sections, inner wheel arches, boot floor and various other places repaired on my C43. A very good job was done on getting rid of the tin worm. The next day i was driving over some speed humps and i heard a loud bang, thinking i had driven over...

Noticed small hole on the inside of the spare wheel bay Needless to say small hole turned into a big hole :eek:as it had been rusting from outside underneath the rear bumper by the time the loose rust was removed it was a sizeable hole Remember you cant see it from the outside as the bumper...
