Wow thats pretty nasty! The front panel looks like its constructed (filler) rather than fabricated (metal) too! Look forward to this build progressing, and your skills as usual.

Thanks!
Yes we've not got high hopes for most panels, but we've been surprised before.

The front panel wasn't as bad as I thought it was gonna be. I know you've pulled it but I was expecting the bottom to be wire mesh and filler plus a bit of foil for the magnet to stick to.

Yeah it was pin holed but had issues up both sides, top section, around the indecator holes and bottom. Plus dents so it's not worth the hassle.
Now off we can clean up and repair the A posts and kick panel etc
More chop chop
Chop chop chop
If only scrap metal was getting a good price.....

Chop
Cut
Little bit more to cut of the floor then it's welding time.
Luckily a big box of metal stuff turned up
