Rust, Hand brakes and rear lights!

Hey

My dream car (strangely) has always been a Jimny (in black) amazingly my dreams came true a couple of days ago! So far so good. I love it! But there are few things unsure about.

Rust: Lots of rust in the boot from under rear seats to the rear door. I had the best look I could before I bought it! But I guess you don't see everything until you get it home. Only some spots are weak. Has anyone just welding plates over the rusted area?

Handbrake: The handbrake light is always on. Sometimes goes off but useally on. I've checked all brake fluid levels and brake lights. Could it just be as simple as the hand brake sensor? And are they easy to get too?

Rear lights: above the reverse light is there suppose to be any lights? Ie brake/side lights. Or at night do I just relie on the bumper ones and the strip?

Any help would be great!!!

Must people just weld plates over bad areas.

Sounds like a faulty sensor, sorry don't know where.

No lights in top ones, just reversing and rear fog . I have fitted some small marker rear sidelights above the upper ones.

My black jimny has an iffy handbrake light - always has and always will somebody mentioned ages ago thats its to do with the ignition key - when you've fired it up and it stays on, turn the key back a tiny amount - literally a mill or so, and it goes off works for me and saves an expensive dealer fix

Thanks for the help!

Just had at go at that! Works a treat! Thankyou!

There is a simple make braker sensor just in front of handbrake below the shroud.
