Hi folks,
I'm usually active on the Classic Audi forums. Sone of you may know me from there. Been starting to read here too lately as there are fellow 7A owners here. I hope it's okay to post about mine here? Embarrassingly, I've come begging as the Classic Audi forums are down (historically, it's stayed that way until the end of the month).
I posted the following on Facebook (Classic Audi) too.

I've spent a few days a week this past 6 months on my 90 20v getting it started, moved, running well and usable. It's been SORN for 9 years, didn't move for 5.5. I've been focusing on getting it roadworthy and nice to drive/use, rather than the cosmetics (for now). Been a steep learning curve but thanks to the community, a few manuals and lots of time, I'm getting there...
Id like to put it in for an MOT but I'm really worried about the corrosion on the passenger (UK) side at the front of the rear wheel arch. In addition to the holes in the sill end plate, there are holes around the trailing arm bush / bolt nut.
Has anyone had a similar issue with theirs and any idea where to go to get the repair done properly? Methinks this is going to be a big, expensive job. Eeek!
In more positive news, I've managed to make the subframe look a little more presentable for the MOT with a bit of wire brushing and Fertan treatment! Pics below after rinse off of Fertan and then after it dried. No paint applied yet.
