d.p.n.s

time for the driver side sill....starting with the front end... thought it would have been a small patch but by the time i found clean metal it got bigger. then the rear of the sill (didnt see any rust but it needed straightening and i suspected a patch over rust)

very good point...and highly doable at this point. cheers mate

wow that is a pretty basic test but i would imagine it would give you all the info you need. as per my comment to Hurmeez^ the easiest way at this point would be 2 small support brackets further back welded to the chassis cheers man

i did think that but it would have to come off the spit...motor and box back in ...cut mounts to fit further back and weld them up...(still an option as i want them back in at somepoint to do the tunnel and a few other things. or i could make 2 small support back and weld them to the chassis further back ....now

please mate...make a suggestion make some support mounts further back?

started on the other half of the drivers side floor/jacking point straitened the jack mount and put back on. then there is this bit of the jacking point....it was stuffed this is all i could keep so made this and this is it all done.....time to move on to another bit

started doing what i believe to be the worst/most difficult rust are ...2 hours so far and about half way done.

i relieved the boot of the wheel well.(was in pretty good condition but i have plans) i also plan to rebuild most of the front end panels (there is some rust ) but i want to repackage the radiator ,fan and oil cooler so its all under the slam panel i removed ...hammered and dolled them and replaced ..even had some seam sealer on the shelf... .

what he said

the thing is things do change mate.. we all got older have families /other commitments we might not of had the year before .and priorities change. and that's why I can't say yes or no ..until closer to the time

thought while its in its side ill stitch and gusset the upper arm mounts all so took the time to fit the stuffed gearbox mount threads.

sorry guys to far out for me to say.

so the plan is to metal prep and POR15 all the good bits till im left with just the repair ares.

the rust issue wasn't as bad as i thought it would be.....there were no surprises at all... not bad for a car that was destined for scrap yard

well its back from blasting ....and good news .....its not a pile of dust
