Saw this. Channel Islands I think.
Lots of rust..

yep, a bit crusty ... but i've seen a lot worse. the car was in the ancestry project, but only a 1985 note. this is one of the last 7 RHD CSL.

Interesting one!

I do see rust, but surprisingly the front fender /strut towers seems pretty OK (most difficult to fix)

Likely because it has evidence of wax injection; see the white plugs in the pic?
The're used for wax oil spray injection.

Likely saved the front end, though other seams that weren't protected did rust as expected, like the rear wheeA-Pillar and also the lower A-Pillar has rust bubbling through the front fender.
I'd be curious to see some pics of the sill /rocker seams.

Some funny things:
Brass coolant tank - a retrofit.
Rear underriders- I though all CSL's had either glass fiber or steel without underwriters?
The additional fluid bottle next to the heaterbox, isn't that the optional head lamp washer system?

That's the brake fluid reservoir position for injected rhd e9s. Air filter leaves no room on the inner wing panel.

This will literally be dissolving from the inside out at every seam once it's opened up.

City pack had underriders, brass tank correct I believe.
