Nope it was proper rotten imo

It had all the type 49 bits you mentioned but the welding for the extra plates on the strut tops looked a bit iffy

It would have been a hell of a job to restore, it had little holes everywhere where the shot from blasting had found all the hidden rust. The footwells looked ok but everything from the bulkhead forwards would have need fabricating. The boot had had a fair bit of welding done in the past and what panels were still attached were quite damaged. Shame really
