Lee Ivatt, I've got a rebuilt box but will check them for sure come the time !!
Spammage, It will be mint when its done underneath, but fook keeping it clean...im jus doing it so I know it's done and is protected, doing it white cos I hate black!! might give it the odd clean jus so it doesnt go black!
Done a bit more tonight, david removed the pass side A pillar outer skin, wee plate to make at the bottom but the rest is mint and new panel can go on. Also removed a section from the top of the A pillar to replace with a bit from another car.

Lee, sand blasting would of been ideal but initially didnt plan to go as far as I have and dont want to remove head lining (as silly as it sounds) but your right it would be the best thing to do!
underside will get that stonechip stuff, I'll prob just paint it on tho unless I get a loan of a shutz gun and compressor!

Looking good Davie will be mint when its done and with 250atw it will fly, if you havent been in Wul's one get him to take you out at the rr day.
I stonegaurd'd the underside of mine then painted it with white hammerite a few weeks ago, and now a quick jetwash keeps it clean.

if you do take headliner out its not a big job. in fact my rst was ripped all the way down middle, so i took one out from a rs16i in the scrappy and put it in my S1. took about 45mins to get it out, but wasnt difficult.
take off all the door,sunroof,window rubbers. then there will be a few small sprung steel clips, these are the buggers u need to be careful with as they are barrbed. ones theyre off. theres just 3 rods which locate in the roof. and bobs ur uncle.
you may be supprised at the sunroof tray. i did a lot of upside down wellding here. as u cant buy a replacement tray, annoying as theyre only bonded on. glad i fixed mine or it have had an in car shower every i washed it!
