Complete with rusty OSF door hinge mount .....

Ouch!

That's the de-leathered one that Frugg raped.

Is that rust round the wiring gaiter though?

Dont think so bandit, i think its just discolouration from where the rubber grommet is pushed against the A pillar. Get some T cut on it and it will soon come off.

Oh - okay ................. what's this on the other side then?

I must be getting old - I've just been out to both of mine for a shufti, and neither of 'em have done that. In fact my French Mk1's sticker didn't do that either ............

It does look suspiciously like the grommets have been retaining moisture.

Im pretty sure its not rust bob, just discolouration fron the rubber of the grommit against the painwork. It affects lighter coloured cars for obvious reasons.

I've had that discolouration happen on white 16v's before.

Tried to t-cut it away with no success.

Shame its not got the proper early GTi interior, I suppose it must be hard to find now - only one of the BXs we look after has it, an old F reg DTR hatch.
