I thought I better start a thread on this...

This was my first RS many years ago. Yes, it had a badboy bonnet and a cut-out bumper! But I thought it was cool back then...



So 12 years after selling it I find it only 5 miles-ish away from where I live now! The same bloke had it too. I persuded him to let me take it home. The wife was none too happy when this turned up on the drive when we are in the middle of a big building extension. Whoops.
It is in a little bit of a state, having had various wild life taking refuge in her for those winter hibernations.
The rust bug has hit it quite hard too... This is what she looks like now...







Plan is to strip her down and see how bad the rust has really hit it. I want to take it back to as standard as possible.
It was sat in a gravel driveway covered with a tarpaulin, so hopefully it will be ok.
From what I've seen it needs...

Battery tray
Both front inner and outer wings
Front slam panel
Inner and outer cills
Rear panel

The floorpan and under neath dont look too bad. We will know more when I strip the interior out. The roof panel is nailed! Has a hole the size of at least a golf ball that you can see through. Anybody tried to repair these before?
