So I’ve been to view a R35 GTR today and where the passenger side strut joins the boot it’s pretty rusty.... both struts are bubbling also.

I know water sits there!

anyone else seen or had this problem?

I read on another forum Which body panels are made out of aluminium? - R35 GT-R that the boot and bonnet on the R35 are made of aluminium but from looking at the photo that does look like rust i.e. iron oxide. I know aluminium can corrode. I'm starting to get little patches of rust mainly under the bootlid but also under the bonnet of my '09 R35. Planning a trip to a bodywork specialist to get it dealt with. Are there any aluminium panels on the R35?

Many thanks,

Andrew
