The Floors are really good. A tiny bit in the rear quarter and behind the tank. A little in the left inner sill up where it joins to the thingy (at the froent).
The sub frame has HEAPS in it so i dont know whether to replace the subframe or fix it.(ive got another good subframe)The out sill(right ) has a hole about the size of a pencil.
Its got a lot of rust on the top half of the car but my panel beater said it was reall easy to fix.
Thats all i can see but i realise there will probably be more once i start rubbing it back etc. Cheers Mark
