I am so glad mine is as rust free as it is. I have a few bits to fix but nothing like you have Bungle.

Just need to swap the front beam and get it running well and then look into shipping costs!!

tried to get the new door to fit today and didn't get on very well

there is not enough height at the B pillar, a big gap under the door at the step, big gap at the front panel and the middle of the step sticking in to much

in the end i gave up and removed the badly fitted wheel arch

Posted Image

the bottom of the B pillar has rotted out

and i don't think i have a middle sill

hopefully thats the welding done for this year (apart from a little bit i have to take the door off for) the drive is starting to go rusty from all the grinding ::)

so thats floor replaced, wheel arch tub, A post, B post and wheel arch + a little bit of the front panel

next step is get the roller out and start painting
