Hi,
My much loved but well cared for Mk1 Rav4 (1999 SWB) has been developing
corrosion for a while in the rear wheel arches. I had to replace the fuel filler pipe and have some welding/repair done on these.
The other day I noticed to my horror that rust is now visible on both front
wheel arches forward of the front suspension mounts. I can see it from
inside the engine bay and when I poked at it I made a small hole. I could
see the wheel through the hole. It passed MOT last October without issues.
Is this the end? I would be a damn shame as this Rav is LPG converted and
runs great. I can't see how it would pass an MOT again and can't really see how the rust could be repaired.
Any ideas folks?
