I'd read about the arches going on the pumas and the reason why so I stripped out the rear seat and got access to where the inner arch met the outer and the rust starts...

    Very true and agree it is disheartening but that's how it goes with cars plus it's made more difficult by my high standards. Not looking for perfection just a well cared for example. The best part of buying a new car for me is doing all the touches and mods to make it your own. Best of luck...
