Yeah right
So the rust repairs well be doing are ÷ drivers sills inner and outer
÷patch in drivers floor medium
÷passenger sills inner and outer
÷massive patch passenger floor
÷spare wheel well ,wheel will almost drop clean through
figure I'll do the bare minimum of repairs so I can get her a wof and re go

So got her home washed mucked around rekitting clutch master and slave cylinders
Whipped fuel tank out good Descale clean out saw that right brand spanker fuel pump too
Run real good in the drive way soon as you'd back out of the driveway temp would creep way up hmmmm flow issue
Strip radiator and water pump
Impeller wasn't even on the pump had come of shaft so that's a good find rad was blocked with thick brown stuff smelled like puke
Got that all back together got it hot
Cheeky drive out in the boom box so grouse to drive
Happy that it drives this mint for sitting so long

So as the story goes,
Older army guy bought her brand new back in 76 in Singapore were he was posted in nz army
Cars been well looked after body's rusty but honest,running gears all stock needs sills floor sections boot floor also
Easy stuff really,she's done 78000 km, packing a mighty 2tb and a t40 4 speed box twin carbs even!!!
Paints seen far better days but packs so much character it's fully staying
Plans at this stage are get the major rust sorted get her running mint,plugs,points,condenser, water pump and radiator flush out/rodding out
Fuel pumps shot same with clutch hydraulics
as I go I'll wire wheel things back and coat with p0r15
Plus the mandatory slam and wheels
Got to keep the longchamps off the datsun so they'll go on
Never ever thought I'd have one in my possession and if it weren't for @OldNathan it'd still be a dream many thanks bro!!

Usually when a vehicle is failed for rust the inspector should note that a panelbeaters report is required to issue the wof, when it's bought back for a recheck the report gets copyied an attached to wof sheet book
suppose it's down to the inspector though
like puddles mentioned wof online is vague and will say structure/rust
wont say we're exactly
only learn of it when wof is being put through too sometimes
