 Fish freak! MP Admin Posts: 14989    Location: Birmingham | Thanks Donna  Matt, far too much  both rear arches, sills inner and outer, floors, rear valance and boot floor, front panel at the bottom. The sunroof and actual roof are perfect though  | ||

Fish freak! MP Admin Posts: 14989 Location: Birmingham | Here is a little glimpse of what I have uncovered so far, plenty to keep me busy! Firstly the passenger jacking point is very rotten. The plan is to cut it out and leave it out, I never use them as I prefer the safety of the subframes so they are pointless.  IMAG0686_1 by Pandy100, on Flickr Then there is the drivers inner sill in the front footwell. Again, pretty damn rotten and I will need to remove a fair amount of this sill to find clean metal, and more than likely the external sill as well.  IMAG0709_1 by Pandy100, on Flickr This is the part I am working on at the minute, rotten right under the seat mount and through the support channel.  IMAG0707_1 by Pandy100, on Flickr Realising I need to do the job correctly or face doing it again in a few years I picked up a spot weld drill and removed the seat mount  IMAG0716_1 by Pandy100, on Flickr And then after removing the underseal and revealing where the rot is, I cut a section out (the reason its triangular is that I wanted to keep as much of the good metal in the car as possible)  IMG_20130817_155927_1 by Pandy100, on Flickr And that is as far as I have got with it. I am waiting on a pair of inner sills, and will be removing some more metal in the sill section around the above seat mount rot this week with the intention of getting it all refreshed and patched up by the weekend - to move onto the next part! I also had a cat climb up through the hole the other day and my neighbour said it was going mental running around inside the car :lol: | ||

Fish freak! MP Admin Posts: 14989 Location: Birmingham | Thanks for that mate, having them delivered tomorrow and I've booked next week off to have a good crack at it. I picked up the rear floor panel today, looks a decent panel so should help a lot. What else you got lying about then? I think I'm going to tax it for another 6 months as I've only driven 700 miles this year, and hell am I putting all this work in to use it for only two days. My thoughts on the sunroof drains is to drill the sill and fit a grommet and have the drain tube exiting through there. Does that sound plausible? | ||

Metro Mad Posts: 7653 Location: Tamworth, Staffs | I have alsorts, might be best if you pop over and have a rumage lol Drain tubes sound fine, I think if you want to make a propper exit for the drain tubes it may be worth getting some metal tubing and welding bits in into th sills and connect the pipes onto these that way you shouldn't find the pipes creeping up inside the sills. | ||

Fish freak! MP Admin Posts: 14989 Location: Birmingham | Will have to sort it out then Haven't got a passenger side front floor panel have you? The place I ordered from advertised it as a N/S but sent an O/S  Good shout with the metal tube, sounds like a better plan | ||

Fish freak! MP Admin Posts: 14989 Location: Birmingham | It's hard work! The more I clean up, the more rot I find. I've now got to repair the A pillar/front end chassis leg as I wasn't aware of it being a massive water trap and its rotten on the outer section. I ground off the seam sealant and it emptied its guts - easily a few 100ml of water I'm only trying to get it ready for an MoT but wanting to do it correctly (or as correctly as I can manage) its turning into a part restoration! | ||
