I have not achieved a lot lately.However I have cut up the rear cut and the panels that I need are getting acid dipped at the moment to remove all the paint underseal and what rust there is. The rear L/H corner has been cleaned off so that I can see how much needs to be replaced and fortunately it is not as bad as the R/H side mainly the taillight area, I found a small patched up (bogged) rust hole in the L/H front corner of the boot drip channel have welded a patch in there. I have also taken the car off the rotisserie so that I can complete the panel repairs in the boot area and then remove the front panel as this will need to be replaced along with the lower radiator support panel and some chassis rust repairs and the replacment strut tops and as I found last night I may need to replace the upper L/H A pillar both inner and outer as they are quite badly rusted away. Fortunately this is not as hard as it could be as I have the roll cage to hold this area in place while I do it. So it keeps moving forward all be it slowly.
