Well after being annoyed the low mileage (the cylinder head looks nearly new) engine was seized solid, I embarked on inspecting the body today. I wasnt surprised to find both floorpans need replacing, no biggy and panels cant be too hard to find. Also the rear ends of the sills needs doing, not the worst ive ever seen but not amazing. The worst bit though is the windscreen frame, its rotten on the drivers side lower corner and it is actually flexible!! The top edge has been victim of a poor windscreen job I think, and its really really bad. The dashboard was full of rust flakes from the screen frame. What do people think? I reckon it will be too hard to repair safely and strongly, certainly beyond my ability.
The worst thing though is the 'work' done on it before. Everything is half cocked, half done, half tight etc etc, thats the problem with taking on a half done project. There is also overspray on the windscreen, on the dash, everywhere basically, not neatly done and barely masked up. Thick yellow paint on all the electrical connectors too. It just annoys me, start one bit and finish it properly before moving on!!
