After working on my GS these last two weekends, I have a clearer picture of the corrosion damage.
Not terrible, but paint started flaking (big flakes) off the bottom of the final drive and near the plug, as long as the usual couple of spots on the front engine cover.
I can live with that for now, but might make sense to repaint in a year or two. Rear subframe might need to be stripped/cleaned and repainted too as it shows signs of surface rust here and there.
I wouldn't mind doing the front engine cover myself, but wouldn't touch the final drive... so if one gets that done... chuck the engine cover in too.
Is it extremely/stupidly expensive to have the final drive repainted? Anywhere in/around London that does this kind of stuff?
