There are a few rust repairs I will need to carry out, only 1 being a surprise, The plenum area is pretty bad, but I have ordered some spot weld drill bits and will use the donor car to rob sections from.
I knew about this before I started, so no surprise here.
An area that looks to be an old smash repair.
You can also see in following picture, the body seam in firewall is fairly rusted, I will most likely weld this together flat anyway.
But what you cant see is plenum panel around the bonnet latch is bent (I assume from when had smash in front pushed bonnet back), the donor car has a perfect top plenum, so that will be fitted.
Donor.
And that is where I am upto after day 1.
I hope to get the engine, gearbox and front suspension out over the next few days.
With rust repairs starting on Saturday.
