Hi folks thought i should updat you on whats been happening with "Egor,s" progress ,i spent a few hours on him today took out all his carpets underlay .
I gave the floor pans a good scrape off with a big old flat ended screw driver , found a few surprises , few holes ..
The list is as follows , see pics ..[frame]

Thats the rear N/S floor pan rotten ,although plated from underneath first pic ...[frame]

O/S rear floor pan ok , just surface rust[frame]
[/frame]
Thats the N/S front floor pan , again ok just surface rust , one or too small pin holes on the gear box cover but thats it ..[frame]
[/frame]
O/S front drivers floor pan again good just surface rust ...[frame]

This panel has some rot on it but appears to have been plated on the rear , wont know till the front wings are off ...[frame]

This box section under the back seat , floor section again rotten ...[frame]
[/frame]
The inner wings and bulk all seem to be rot free , pic also shows how bad his wires are , just a jumble ...[frame]

So as you can see his wires are a nightmare , ive had to put him off the road due to the rot on the floor and his dodgy wires , he had his last trip today prior to stripping the floor pans ...
Next job is to get the 4 kick plates : off to view both side box sections ,i can weld but due to the amount of work im going to get a local welder who knows his stuff to take on the work , replacing the rotten panels with nice new ones , i will take pics as he does the work , although he is fully booked till after July ...
So i will keep you all posted and in the mean time i will get "Egor" up on the ramps and have a good poke around see what other rot i can find , take some underbody shots of him ....
