na bugger all rust only some minor stuff in the boot floor and a couple of little areas.. its a shame it has no firewall or anthing anymore its a bloody straight 2 door shell... i guess the firewall and heater bubble are the worst areas for rust anyway... so thats probably why its rust free
 
Lucked in with CAMS on the racing logbook they are happy to replace the lost one for me. which is a good start.
 
Just need to finish building my firepit to get the missus happy and then i can have some more time with the new car

Had to start somewhere so i decided to start with the boot... dont know why.. i pulled the fuel tank out and bugger me it was half full of fuel! for a car that sat in a shed for years it had been plugged up good as the fuel was in good condition (im not keeping it though!), not much rust mainly surface rust. Needs a new spare wheel bottom.. but thats about it. Needs a good clean and paint otherwise im happy to finally make a start.
 
Pics to come!

did a little more over the weekend.. the old bootlid that came with the car i have unpicked the outer skin from the inner frame and added a small strip of aluminimum as a support basically cutting the weight of the bootlid in half! also took one of the wing endplates off and 'reshaped' it also ive added a 'L' lip to it making it bolt to the bootlid instead of attached to the car.
 

 
Hopefully ill have some better shots soon.. i always forget to take pics while im working on it
