Yep. Seems from a 156 forum that Im on, the chassis on this and the 2000 model was not galvanised and I am being advised that its possibly not worth repairing.
In terms of the chassis, not the chassis itself (FWD cars are not like 'old' cars) but its the sheetmetal around one of the lifting points and also the 2 two area are where the front suspension bits fit onto the 'chassis' behind the front wheels.

Hi, found the 0.75mm from other sites as to recommended sizes - not actually measured.
I think what you are saying is very wise - I am in a rush of sorts etc, think me trying to get it fixed is a bit optimistic and while Id like to buy more tools and justify the spend - just not worth it here...
So, my wife's car failed the MOT due to some corrosion. I looked at it - dissapointed, doesnt look that bad.
I used to do some ARC welding many moons ago when I did my apprenticeship as an Electrician in South Africa. Wondering if its worth getting something and trying to fix the chassis bits...
