Location: Hinckley, Leicestershire		I found some more on the drivers front chassis leg the rest of the floor pan is solid had a good poke around, the outer sills are solid as is the rear valence. I just hope it doesn't get any worse once start cutting out the rot as I've spent a lot of money on it recently

Location: Armagh, Northern Ireland		Feel your pain - the areas you've marked are pretty much identical to the rot we had to fix on ours (after thinking it was mint).

Is the sandwiched / stiffener sections in the floor OK? Ours were rotten from the sill in along the seam. Rear inner and outer sills also backing onto the arch.

As a positive though - nothing you've posted there looks unfixable.

they all rot in these areas because of the location of the sunroof drains they exit in these places

I would love to I am about 110 miles north of you tho and I am in the middle of a body repair course that I am being fast tracked through, on top of that I have decided to turbo my diesel metro and found an unbelievable amount of welding, I should have learned from my past metro, this one looked tidy. have a look at my build journal it looks like a nice starting point lol
