not to worry rust proofed it till i could get it fixed phoned my mate that has a garage to see if he had time to come look at it, he popped round said he could cut it out and weld a new section in for me phew only going to be £70, all this in the first 38 hours of owning the car. car is already in the garage to get the rust hole sorted. Yes im seriously loving the Jimny its not put me off

Hello and welcome, nice looking jimny you got there.
