Rust inside the arches, and rust inside the sills are the two main areas that can be hard to spot unless you get it in the air, and for the sills you need to remove the interior panel that covers the seatbelt and have a good look inside the cavity.

Hmm not sure if someone will be happy with me dis-assembling their cars. I'm not even sure how to so even id be scared to break something.

The rev4 3sge is still a non-interference engine right?

Yeah, Rolf Harris hasn't been anywhere near the engine, definitely non interference.

Yeah, all 3S's are non interference apart from the BEAMS NA's.
