"Poor body work"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car is currently being overhauled.
Rust eradication.
General comments?
Compare to VWs built in 1990, the exterior rust proofing on this car is poor. The base coat is water based. Any fracture in this coat and rust quickly takes hold and spreads. NOT GOOD!
The underbody has flanged spot welded seams, which are prone to rusting.
