Martin, did you buy this car because it would be rusty everywhere?
Never seen so much deep damage to every panel, but a great job fixing it all!

There are few places that the tinworm didn't get a foothold on, surprisingly all sill areas are good, as are the torque tubes, but yeah, it was scary project, I'm hoping to get into primer for christmas
