I'm in Ynystawe, near Morriston…
My Golf has been off the road for a couple of years though I am really missing it so dusted it off ans started doing some work last weekend.
I have some rust issues - nothing too serious. Front panel had a fair bit of the paint lift and allow some surface rust to develop, so I have wirebrushed it all off and will be painting that up soon. Then I need to have a look at the rear arches as they seem to be deteriorating quite quickly now that some rust has set in…
