You may already know this but check your cars for bad rust in the boot areas - I can see through my wheel wells. Pull all the carpet up and have a check - its worth it before it gets too bad.

I only discovered as I ripped out all the sound deadning and carpet from my boot!

Just a heads up!

Sam: Seeing as my car is from england.

It ain't that bad - i can fix it. Good excuse to do the body work sooner.

The more trim I take out the better I like the look!

Also, rust can appear under the battery. Take off the wheel and sick your head under and see if theres any there.
