The offside gearbox chassis rail mounting is gone but Dave makes these so I'll be okay here. The nearside is nowhere near as bad.

The start of the floorpan stripping. After I took the first bit off I was pleasently suprised.

The holes started to appear when I tackled the boot area. I can't understand why the raised bits have gone.

This was a big suprise. The rear offside wheel arch was in great nick. DHR had to be totally re-built. (Not by me of course).

As always the bloody bolt and plate has rusted through. I intend to tackle this as my first welding project. I bet you can't wait to see what I set light to!

I then cut all the rusted area out. This was made easier because the interior skin had rotted away, so access was simple.

This was made easier because I kept the corner and edge on so I could be sure it was in the exact position.

The bottom of the front chassis leg is looking the worse for wear, I'll have to see how bad it is when I've had chance to clean it up.

The whole tunnel scrapped. I'll be wiping it down with thinners shortly to remove the small black bits of underseal.

This was taken to show that the chassis rail at the bottom of the slope was okay.

A shot of the rear shock turret, in suprisingly good condition.

The rear pillar has a line of rust holes where the sponge internal insert meets the outer skin. We all know that sponge doesn't hold water!!!!

I layed the spare outer skin exactly in position so I could trace the hole on the inside of the metal.

The hole from the inside. Rust remover has been srayed liberally over the area some months ago.
