I used to use Photobucket, but they charge now. The Forum is working on picture hosting at the moment.

just found a rust trap on my E30. .. was gonna put some pic on here but looks like I,ll upload em when forum is vamped.
FYI

If you look under rear wheel arch off side towards the filler cap, your see a badly fitted in my case, half plastic splash guard, held on by 4 nuts/bolts remove this , and mine was full of caked mud and crap . Hose all out leave 24 hrs, and get the rust treatment out. I think the s/g was doing more harm than good by trapping the mud in there. Once I,ve treated my rust gonna refit the s/g but probably with some sealant on the edges to stop the crap getting in.
your understand if you look.

That sounds like a good plan. If possible you should consider using a wire wheel to clean the rust off. Get it back to bare steel, then rust treatment, then seal.

I use Bilt Hamber, detox gel for rust treatment. See here, https://www.bilthamber.com/deox-gel
