I was wondering where the law stands on rusty cars and what the guidelines are for them being safe to drive?
I suppose surface rust is acceptable but what about door bottoms that have started to rust away? Can this jagged edge be covered with elephant tape or does it need to be more permenant?
(Don't worry it's not my car, a friend has picked up an old project Beetle to work on and I don't think it's safe to drive myself, the sills are pretty rotton and it doesn't have an MOT either.)
