After examining the tub and the outer panels I ended up with this list of work items for the body:
- Replace battery box
- Repair front and rear tub to frame brackets and the tub sheet metal that has crumbled
- Repair or replace floor pans
- Replace outer sills
- Patch front and rear of the inner sills
- Patch rear wheel arches where they meet the inner sill
- Patch corners of both footwells
- Rear wings pretty good but lots of dents and the left rear has those slots that need repairing
- Left front wing rotted at the bottom rear
- Right front wing rotted at the bottom rear but not as bad the left front wing
- Both front wings have issues but small stuff, dents, extra holes for wing mirrors etc
- Front apron good other that the damage to the front right hand corner
- Doors have some minor rust issues and dents
- Right hand quarter panel behind the stone guard has rotted through
- Boot lid has cracked around the right hand hinge plinth
- Bonnet pretty good, some dents
- Strip all paint, remove all rust, replace any missing/broken cage nuts
At this point I am still not thinking body off restoration but that time is coming soon. It is January 2011.
