Right, car's been off the road for the last month or so, just been sorting a few bits and bobs out on it for the winter.

Found this under the fuse box in the engine bay





So we cut it out! Got rid of all the shit rusty metal.





So made a plate to fit the hole







grinded it down, put a little skim of filler over it and primed it up, you'd never know it was there


Also had rust coming through between the rear arches and the boot floor on both sides, so same process, got rid of the shit rusty metal and put a new plate in.

Only got 1 pic of the back but it gives you an idea of how bad it was!





Anyway as of now, all 4 wheel arches are cleaned, de-rusted and fully undersealed, car is off the road, not driving it through shitty rain and grit again

Got a few bits and bobs to do over the winter but gona hopefully start seeing some real progress once with weather gets a bit better and i've got a bit more cash coming in
