Would one be correct in thinking that the bootlid and arches are steel?

You could just pass a magnet over the car like in the old days looking for filler? Aluminium is not magnetic so would enable you to tell where any steel reinforcing/fastenings are Very Happy Worse things happen at sea! Well thats what swmbo said when WRENS came to sea!!!
