Update time... (sorry about all of the pics)

Fuel tank's out




Got the sunroof off, which was full of rust and pain in the arse to get out.






Headliner out, unveiled another bodge, fibreglass covering a hole where the roof drainage pipe had leaked and rusted away the inner roof skin

Took the carpets and the sound deadening out, i hadn't realised before othewise i'd have taken it out earlier but the sound deadening was absolutely sodden



Now for the rust

















Sunroof cavity




Rear inner arches


And outer


Under fuse box




Another poor repair


This ones underneath the battery tray, which from the outside looks mint, started pulling away at the sealant on the inside and the part that is painted in red oxide primer is in fact a plate that has been very poorly tacked in place under the original rusted under battery tray plate then sealed into place


Under the spare wheel well



In the engine bay, going to need a new front crossmember, and these parts, no idea what they are called and no idea where to get replacement panels from so if anyone has any suggestions please let me know (refering to the box sections which meet at the cross member where the horns and anti-roll bar normally mount):






Anybody know where i can (if you can) get this panel for this from, every site i have looked on don't list it.







This panel is the other side of this


Best buy so far

So much easier to work on the car when you can see what you're doing

Started to rub back the rust and take off the arches but no pics as yet..
