My car looked fine when I got it, but there was loads of little holes every where, inner arches, chassis rails, front pannel etc, I have plated most places (all the structural places) I don't think any thing was week, but its still worring how much they rot and the places they rot. Glad mine isn't yours though! Just hope mine does not continue rotting now its all plated !

Holy **** thats a serious amount of welding !

Hi guys,
Sorry for the lack of updates but to be honest not alot has been done. Took the dash and wiring loom out, found some more rot at spring seats so put all the struts etc back on and it is now back in the garage to get sorted. Looked around the underside of the car with simon (welding magician) and decided to cut out the boot floor and change the suspension setup at the rear. The drain holes on the wheel well were getting tatty so decided it's better just to take the whole thing out as i wouldn't be using it anyway.
thats all for now, hopefully report back with pictures soon
Just seen this and will be keeping an eye out for more updates, excellent work have some rep !
some very neat working there , super job

My struts came yesterday aswell so all is coming together :d
Wow new chassis rails... Why the roundness?
I've just sat and read through this whole thread as I bet most people have. I can't believe how much rot there was. I dont think I would of had the guts to attack something that major.
Looks like its coming along well though. Good luck with the rest of the project. Keep us updated!
