01 S430 Rust Repair (in Process)

Hey Folks,

Just wanted to keep you updated my s430 is in the body shop getting its rust repaired and a full AMG body kit put on. I have rust on the front right passanger door (on the bottom). I have rust underneath the license plate frame and front left fender (on the bottom). My bumpers are scratched in the front and the back. So I decided to go with a Full Amg Body kit. You can see the body kit in the following link. https://mbworld.org/forums/attachmen...7&d=1200089215
I will take pics and post them as soon as the car is back which is in 4 days
