The rear arches were in a bit of a state but the inner arches and floors were good.

The body, bonnet, frames, bootlid etc.. were bead blasted by Tegra near Ashford.
The work seems excellent. Whilst we were fairly clear as to the extent of body repairs required there were still surprises. Notably the right hand rear wheel arch which turned out to be as bad as the left one that had already been cut off by a previous person who had started a restoration of sorts.
A pleasant surprise was the good condition of the floors and boot floor and the engine frames.
The bonnet requires a new support panel as I think a knock at the front most have split the paint around the bonnet hinge captives which in turn let water in I guess.
Bodywork to do:
- Rear nearside jacking point
- Door skins
- Both rear arches
- Repairs section to nearside sill
- Small repairs around top of offside A pillar
- Major panel beating on the bonnet together with a new bonnet support section
