Thanks for the replies.

Few more of the car just before the engine was taken out that I found:








The IB5 box and rally mounts that are all due to be replaced



The CVH style mount that was used for the original conversion



The following will show why I have had to make the decision to take an all or nothing approach.. It was either repair properly once and for all or make a change

The sills...





Where I had cut a test patch to see how bad before starting:








These photos of the sills were taken nearly 2 years ago now when I was going to start on some upgrade works. I knew they needed attention but wasn't until I got the screwdriver out that I realised how bad I had let them go. This is what made me realise if I wanted to repair and keep the car I needed a better environment to work in and spend some serious amounts of time on it..

More to follow!
