Yes Max, that rust is the Victa killer (apart from the wheels, yes MF I know). Everyone I get back to work I clean on the inside all up around the left inside and then paint it with fish oil. Hopefully that will save them for a few more years. The other issue with the bases is the wear that happens where the front axle goes through the body, not a huge problem because I just weld that area up, but still an annoyance. I guess Victa had to build something into them to make them fail or people would have been able to leave them in their will to their children and grand children. As for the photoshopping the reflections on the floor make it so realistic, means you can't believe anything you see these days
