 Work begins with suspension removal |
 Front suspension (in foreground) removed. It put up a bit of a struggle. This is a rusty car! |
 Rear subframe out, awaiting stripping |
 Fair amount of corrosion on subframe cradle. All fixable though. |
 Rear fully stripped. Frame is saveable. |
 Front subframe on the bench. This is in much worse condition and may be beyond saving. |
 A close-up showing advanced rust on every components - except the quite new brake disc. |
 As suspected, the front subframe rot is too advanced to save. This is unsafe and virtually unrepairable. |
 This is the other side and quite a bit better, but the whole subframe will have to go. |
 Sill ends along with a lot of the body need welsing - just started in this picture. |
 Usual rust patches on inside wing at damper re-inforcement. This will be patched and welded. |
 Rust holes in the front RH chassis leg will need welding. |
 Front panel rotted away, lower wings rotted and front cross member not pretty.... |
 Rear suspension fully rebuilt and going back into the car |
 Original front subframe was scrapped, this good, used one is now taking shape |
