The dreaded

[tonyc280]

Well its my fault for going on about my rust free w202 c280, after cleaning my car on Sunday i noticed a couple of small bubbles on the front of the offside front wing. pressed them and water came out. Going to tackle it in the spring when its a bit warmer and drier. In the mean time i sealed the inside of the wing with black sealer. Lets hope it doesn't spread too far. Cheers, T. PS the rest of my car is rust free though

No Mercedes of your/mine era is rust free - you just have not spotted it sadly.

well ive gone over my car not long after i bought it and came to the conclusion it had been waxoyled all over not long after it was made. the underneath is amazingly rust free the sills are in amazing condition for a 1997 car and honestly no rust anywhere else. under the wheel arch liners its like new too. doors too are completely rust free to the same as in engine bay and boot too. The MOT tester even commented about its condition. someone should have a look at it and will be amazed.

No W202 is without rust, I would be able to fine more in a matter of minutes if I had a once over yours im afraid

Could be worse though, I found soil full of maggots inside my front door once on my 1st W202
