the panels are all ordered up & the shell is being prepared, its only the back off the car that is rotten, from the B pillar back, its stuffed full off chicken wire, filler, paper, underseal, something like filler but it has never hardened & badly tacked in patches of tin, the guy in the foto is stevie i was outside his garage in tears, he was cutting all the rot out & saying this will be a nice solid minor when were finnished, its a bit disheartning when you buy a old car thinking its not that bad, then you take a screwdriver to it & its a lot worse than you thought, but at least it was cheep at £380, & i have sold my 62 minor to finance it, more fotos as soon as i can dry my eyes
thanks

OOPS!

Its amazing how rusty that lip can get, I guess that new wheel arches are the only option?

That looks a lot better with all the crud cut away, something good to weld to now

I do that too - sit and stare at things working out plans in my head. I can stare at something for ages whilst assembling all the steps in my head.
Drives the misses nuts.
