Anyway I was taking some additional photos for someone who was interested and noticed that 4 of the spot welds in the boot floor seem to have failed.

I thought this was only an issue in the ///M cars so would be keen to here from anyone who has experience of this in their non-///M. Thanks

I would say under normal driving that won't be an issue, that said seam weld the hanger and the boot floor and it will outlast any owner. But good bargaining find.

Can happen to any car. Higher horse power and driving style just accelerates the issue.

I would get spotweld drill and take the top level of metal off then plug weld them. Finally a coat of paint.

I am finally getting around to doing permeant repairs to mine after limping it along for several years of abuse. I have a pile of metal and cutting discs at the ready. Plus I am fitting a twin eared diff cover.
