This is true and that's exactly what I started looking for. But the cheap Ka's or bare shell's I came across seem to all have some form of rot issues if not the sills it would be the filler cap or quarter panels, arches etc. With the money I would spend on a new shell and then have to prep and protect ready for the rebuild I could spend on this one and repair it completely. Mine has only suffered around the sills... Everywhere else is rust free that I've found!

Exactly.. This was the main reason for repairing it. It's my first car.. First one I drove after passing my test.. Some 11 years now!!
Thanks
