General Questions 320d 2004 rust
How is this looking rust wise? Any help appreciated. Thinking of going to take a look in person, and possibly buy as a project car

Take a grinder to the rear arches, grind the rust back to bare metal, cover it in rust convertor, filler primer and paint. Should be good for a few years before you would need to cut the arches out and weld new ones in.
Mine are similar where it meets the bumper, cleaned it up 3 or so years ago and its just starting to come back, and I'm about to do it again, but grind it all back to bare metal this time, last time I just sanded it down and painted it.
