So surprising then that the rust is where it is. I've never seen rust there but yep pretty much seen rust everywhere else. It does seem to be a hard repair but start at the start get to the finish and hope you find all those buggers of spot welds.

I wish ones like those would come out of the woodwork in WA, I'd snap them up in a second even if I had to put it away until the Cortina's done...
The red one came up well with just a clean Spud, bit of a daimond in the rough, definately worth doing especially if you've already got a replacement panel.

there is a flood of capri's for sale this month must be the capri season ..
i think some buy the cars then realise how much money and lack of parts are around for these cars unless you go glass panels even then its still a hell of a lot of work and time consuming if ya have it .. then the shock comes when ya get quotes for new re pressed panels from uk ..
the cheapest thing i found that comes from the uk is the trim

I scored the passengers floor and inner sill out of the same shell ( also a nice passengers A pillar for another day). Amazing what u can get out of a moth eaten shell - but 1 floor, gearbox gusset, 1 A pillar, scuttle front and rear, sections fr the rear 1/4's, etc etc - worth a lot of cash when u add it up - don't throw anything out!
