Nice work!

well went out this morning got me some wire (and spare gas cos you know what would happen if I didn't!) and finished off the boot as you can see more rust along the bottom of the doorframe so patched up the two larger holes and was left with this thinking to myself how in the hell do I fill that well this is what I came up with seems to do the job! so that's the boot done


however.. this is what I found underneath the carpets at the back! even more tin worm! cut away the rot bits to leave this another conundrum how do I work with the body mount?? well this is what I've thought, here's my template where the arrow is is the top of the bolt of the mount gonna cut a hole in the plate and weld round it here think that should do it? the other side also rusted in same spot! but thankfully not as bad! I must admit when I saw this hole first I did think its ebay for you!! but I think I've gone to far already to back out now! especially with all the bits I've got for it, so after a quick dig round the front floor, sills etc finding no further rust I decided just to carry on after all its only a little more welding!

I reckon it will be alright welding that bolt to the plate! Might make it a bit more difficult if you ever remove the body haha

I've found a set of Vit calipers in my bits, but they're not stripped and reconditioned, so they may not be any better than the ones you have!

no worries Anton cheers for looking not planning to remove body any time soon so should be ok now all I need is the weather to brighten up wet grass is no good for working on or trailing electricals across!!

well what with weather and work not been near it for a while but an early finish and some sunshine today have helped body mount welded in done and painted! tomorrow I shall get stuck into the other side!

Nice to see the progress continuing. Some pretty tidy patchwork, presume you've sealed all the underside of them too?

yeah clean them up and paint the underneath before welding them in, gonna under seal later on too

well that's the floor finally finished working between the showers! got it done just before one almighty downpour!
as you can see its not quite as bad on this side got all my essential tools close by bit more patches than I woulda liked but what the hell, makes life easier

well got the interior back in sorted the hole in my bonnet was gonna weld in a patch but then thought bugger it its only the skin that's rusty so cut the rot out and used fiberglass got home today to find my new grill had turned up so now can get on with making my new bumper
