Ooh, I fixed my roof.
It's ridiculous, but I love how over complicated it is.
The motor had died on the boot lock, I tried to fix it, but somewhere in its past it looks like it was on fire.

You mean it's no longer rusty?

Well, the motor isn't rusty, but bits of the car are.

I've just found a hole in the side of mine.
Noticed it was a bit rusty, started at it with a screwdriver, found a hole the circumference of my pinky absolutely covered in gop.

At some point, somebody "fixed" a rust issue by just gopping and painting over it. Joy. Now I'm worried about how much of the rest of the car might have received the same treatment.

Where was the hole?
I had similar on the Morris minor, and that turned out to be holier than Swiss cheese.

Worringly, it was just above the sill.
