It was crying out for some TLC Geoff, have those rubber seals ever been cleaned and treated?
Good going so far, mine needs doing now after a rainy drive to York this morning.

I really don’t think they have mick ,
I rinsed the ‘5 , treated with TFR , rinsed again, snowfoamed it , rinsed again then hand washed with power maxed shampoo and the water running off was still filthy

Oh hey! Number 22 of 2k over here 
Happy to see another 25th on here. Bought mine just over a year ago now, very glad the previous kept mine inside. They didn’t actually drive it for a full year. Hope you enjoy the work on yours!
(Just realised mine is a 20th, not 25th, my bad xD)
Some of the plastic trims in the boot had scuffs / scratches so they were removed

Callipers and discs removed to check back plates ( usually very crusty)
stripped , cleaned, carriers , callipers.
Rust killer on back plates
Pads n discs are fairly new ( rusty due to being stood , will clean up with use )
Great job so far Geoff
Are the front brake back plates crusty? As you probably noticed earlier this year I replaced the Recaro s fronts, far worse than the rears, they were disintegrating, right pig of a job to get the hub off for replacement.
Looks like a great job, what rust converter and underseal did you use?
Just about to do mine?
Hi mick
Both front n back about the same ,
Might not have taken pictures, but all 4 disks removed and back plates treated with rust killer.
