Vixpy , I regularly buy cars that appear quite well on initial inspection .
Then , upon washing them by hand for the first time , I notice little blemishes and dents that I hadn't seen before parting with my cash .
My first E28 M5 had certain amounts of visble rust when I first went to look at it , but it was only once I stripped it back , removing sill covers etc , that I saw exactly what needed rectifying !
As I said in other threads , I saw your car at the NS last year and she looked decent enough to me as she was flying round the track .
Enjoy the successes that you have , and don't be too hard on yourself when you don't do well .......You'll get her right and have the reassurance of knowing so , unlike most owners that never even inspect the areas that you mention !
