Unfortunately ran into more rust with this thing after deciding to investigate what was hiding underneath these horrible patch panels.
I was hoping it was just rusted out where they had covered up, but unfortunately it goes a little deeper into the sill than that.
Yet to find out what behind this patch below the door hinge mounts but from feeling behind its the same story as the left hand side.
Fortunately you can get replacement panels for the outer skin, however I have not been able to find any replacements for the rest of the areas not covered by the panel below, all in all not too bad and will give me a chance to fabricate a few simple pieces to repair the rotted out areas without having to worry too much about it looking good as it will mostly never see daylight again.
In more exciting news I've purchased a motor and box. LS3 / TR6060 out of a VF2 SSV (commodore) with 14,000k's (8,700 miles ), close enough to new for me and at a very reasonable price.
