I found that one of my 85 300D's jack points has rust on surrounding rocker metal.

I posted a picture in a thread in Bodywork forum.

I have not used those jack points for years. I use floor jack and could put bottle jack in car in place of MB jack. Do any of you that own old W123s still use the jack points? They always seem a bit suspect.

I had the front passenger side weld repaired last fall and , and another pic and here is finished repair. The current one is on same side at rear. In two minds whether to have my welding guy fab new piece of plate and weld it in. Based on the front one, the internal structure is likely quite strong and would probably still lift car. But that outside rust needs to be repaired. I could use POR15 to seal rust and then lay up an epoxy/glass surround. Welding would no doubt be best, but hard to justify.
