Crossmember is fucked, I know about that one

Chassis legs seem OK so far

Rear arches are a bit shit, due to the last owner having 17"s on it.

At the bottom of the rear arches its needing done too.

Rear floor is good, wheel well needs patched though.

Sills are OK, still still solid, need some work though. Bonnet is fucked anyways, but yes, rusty.
