Both heater channels cut out, these were completely rotten through:
Heater channels, front bulkhead and rear cross members all bolted to the chassis ready for me to lower the shell back down and align it all before welding it in:

Strip down
I managed to get a full day down the workshop today starting to strip down the bug.
Bonnet and dash area stripped.
Most of the panels at the front look solid in the right places but it needs all of the usual places which rust out on these. The areas that are bad (spare wheel well) will be getting chopped out for the baja kit anyway.
Rear all stripped out, I just need to pull the loom through. Some numpty cut through the loom when they repaired the quarter panel so we’ll need a new loom.
The luggage panel is generally in good shape but has started to go on the O/S:
And has had some bad repairs along the bottom edge:
I’ll repair these rather than replace as the surrounding metal looks good, and this is a baja so doesn’t need to be perfect.
