Spencer[RL] Posted November 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 Rust loves to work its way down! If you find rust somewhere low down on the car always search above it! How much was the Ke70 off the showroom floor? 930Kg? Mines about 500Kg Now :lolcry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueKsev Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 The seam welds on the fuel filler has to be the most common spot. Havent found a ke70 without rust under the filler cap as of today that hasnt already been fixed. If it doesnt have rust there its just lurking underneath the paint waiting haha Also the spot welds underneath the boot seal/ rubber usually get rust. My Ke is clean other then that though I'm lucky :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
