Thanks for the comments guys, getting used to the parenting thing now and the lack of time to get any jobs done, haha!!
As promised i'm back with an update and some pics, better late than never as they say!
So, the car is still in the bodyshop and the progress is slow going due to their workload.... but, their has been progress!!
Here she is in her current state, the front bumper has been removed to carry out repairs to both wings around the bumper mounting brackets.
The sideskirts were removed to have a better look at the floor and sills, here are the findings
Nasty hole / dodgy repair on the passenger foot well...
So they proceeded to cut out the worst parts and are currently waiting on some sheet metal to continue the repairs...
So next on the agenda will be fitting new rear quarters which we managed to source along with 2 rear doors which i also managed to get hold off so when the car is prepped and ready for paint it will all be solid and rust free... or at least that's the plan!

I will now have to sit back and wait patiently for the bodyshop to work their magic as now i have supplied all that they need! So untill the next update, laters!!
