Car looks lovely in the early pics.

Sure you'll sort it Rob

Once you start though it's a nightmare on how far you go

Hope you get well soon too

I wouldnt bother replacing this, its looks strong, unlike mine, that was just holding on by a few good welds


The rust that is there can be treated




Good luck

Rubbing it down, use some form of rust eater ( http://www.silmid.com/products/index.asp?product=SURA06 << This is good ) Red oxide primer, followed by an etch then top coat...

Rob judging by what i can see i'd say theres more to that battery tray than meets the eye my bet is water is coming in there like mine

Also how do ya get the fuse box out and detach it from the wiring if you can as i need to put a new fuse box tray in aswell

Good luck anyway mate looks like ya gettin well stuck in
