    You've probably got nothing to worry about there mate.

    If you take off your rear doorcards and shove your phone into the opening, you should be able to see if you've got anything like this going on from the inside.


    Check the insides of all your arches for this kind of stuff.

    If I were you I'd get the thing in the air to have a really good look at the underbody, rust like that is just the tip of the iceberg in some cases. Mine had rust developing under the paint along the sills and the same under the underseal in the arches, i caught mine in time and only exposed a couple of tiny holes in the arches, the rest was just surface rust luckily.

    Judging by the state of the pinch weld I'd bet the sills aren't great. Not really sure of the point of this post though?
