Well I have finally managed to get something done this week. I have stripped the R/R footwell back to bare steel and POR15ed that area and started to clean off the L/H underside floor I have found a few rust spots here but thank fully I will be able to repair these with the mig welder.  However I have found a goodsized kink in the L/H chassis rail so will need to see what I can do about that. It looks like I will be needing to source a donor car to get some patch panels off. I have found a 4door runner with a 1600 and a 5speed so that is looking promising but it is in another city and I will need to go and check it out before I buy it and getting time off at the moment is difficult as I seem to be working 7 days a week.

half way through stripping the floor no rust located in this section

The ear section stripped prior to a final clean and paint

And with a good coating of POR15

Unfortunatley I have missed out on that 4 door so I will keep looking
