Default Re: Au Rust Thread., Warning, Dont Look If U Cant Handle Sight Of Rust

One of my boots struts was already rusted off when I bought mine, and the second was about to go.
And forget original ford parts for the nipple, as you have to cut the car open to do it.
Ended up getting new nipples threaded next to the old rusted ones, stainless steel though so these should last longer than the factory ones. No idea where the guy got stainless ones from.

By bonnet also has the rust bubling on the lower edges at the grill. I also have rust in every stone chip on the bonnet which I havn't seen on any of our other cars in the family. Did Ford really Galvanize the AU? Prety poor effort at it if you ask me.
