New update from HTDevelopments . The driver quarter panel was removed . We were expecting it to be the cleaner side, unfortunately there was quite a lot of rust hiding there as well .

The rear arch lip has been removed and replaced by a rod . This will free some space for my rear new wheels while keeping a clean look as well as getting rid of the panels overlap where rust starts .

Last update from HTDevelopments before Christmas . The metal work is nearly done, there is only the driver side rear rail to put back on the car and check behind the last quarter panel to make sure no rust is left .

There was definitely surface rust underneath and some discoloration happening around the strut tower panels . The guy doing the work told me the sills and engine bay almost always end up hiding something . The C-pillar did really surprise me as there was only a small 3mm hole visible on the...

HTDevelopments is nearly done with the sills . Next task will be to finish the rear chassis legs and then check behind the driver rear quarter panel . After that this the shell will be ready for painting .

More update from HTDevelopments . Of course the sills were hiding some more rust, the area was cleaned and some panels will be fabricated next week to finish the job and close off the area .

A few more nasty surprises found around the fuel filler neck cutout and the front of the floor that had to be sorted but everything is moving in the right direction!

More progress photos from HTDevelopments . The car is now on rotisserie, floor is taken to bare metal and repaired are being carried where needed . There is definitely more damage than I thought on the sill . The plan is to get the car painted for end of year and reassembled beginning of next year .

More progress update from HTDevelopments . The engine bay is now back together. The images show a quick test fit of all the front panels before the engine bay get prepped for primer and seam sealant application .

Arms and subframes powder coated . Diff painted .

More update from HTDevelopments . The bulkhead got some new metal and the rest of the front end is getting back together fast .

I was quite surprised to see that much rust under the C-pillar .

Yes, everything is getting blasted off so it won't be an issue anymore . The bulkhead would have probably been in a much better shape if the sealant was applied properly though . More update from HTDevelopments . Passenger quarter panel and rear pocket all sorted and back on the car !

Front end panels came back from blasting and are being prepared for reassembly . It's nice to see some good metal going back on the car :D .
