Finally got around to removing the skin from the passengers side it's worse than the other side was. Looking back at the photo I posted looking into this area previously I can actually see how what I thought was just rust flakes was actually this big hole... I'm very glad I spent a few hours getting...

It's great we still.have members putting all this hard work and time in to keep our beloved 2s on the road, one tips ones hat sir, I look forward to more updates :thumleft: Hopefully I can encourage others to do the same. I think these cars are still cheap enough to turn people off the idea of rest...

Keep it up im impressed, after the resuce build on mine, everywhere is getting coated in & out, mine gets that stuff that turns it to zinc cannot remeber the name, the the grey German stuff "Po", and dinitrol. So wish I had somewhere more akin to a workshop, and could weld, really imp...

I'm glad people are interested. I was hoping to use this weekend to finish welding in my front chassis section, but a few days ago I knocked over my gas tank and broke the gauge so I'm waiting on a new one. I keep forgetting the welder is connected to the tank and pulled it over when I was moving it...

Thought I would start by tackling the driver said chassis rail today. I had a look at the replacement section and that too has a bit of rust on it, so I think making a replacement panel would be a better option. This is my first time making replacement panels so I dont expect it to end up perfect. F...

Ok so a MR2 owner on RetroRides forum said to take the side panels off the rails for easier access, so I spent ages drilling them out. This is the passengers side which I was very pleased about! At least I cant get my hand through these holes. I think I'm going to make a replacement panel for this s...

Ok so I've not been able to post pictures on here anymore for some reason so I haven't updated the thread. This was all done quite a few months back. it seems like I keep having large gaps of time before actually doing anything, so I'm hoping to get a lot done during this virus lockdown. I cut off t...

So some of you may have seen my post a year ago about my 1989 MR2 that has a pretty badly rotted out chassis. It's been a long time sat in my garage while I collected a few parts and finished off some motorbike projects and now I'm finally ready to get started and thought it would be good to start a...

Ok so I decided it buy premium anyway since this seems like a good forum :) I've got most of everything out of the way now so I can have a better look at it. It's actually rusted up to where the arm coming of the wheel (not sure what the technical name is) is mounted and I think it would probably ne...

Does anyone know how many posts I need to put pictures up?

Hmm still think I need more posts....

Last post and I can put some pictures up

Only need 2 more posts! Did i mention the car is a t-bar?

I took some photos of the rust. i'll post them once I get enough posts.

Oh and I also had a better look at the sills. It's not actually as bad as I remember in the MOT. The worst part is the lip where it joins the chasis.

So spent another few hours trying to get some of the bumper off for a better look but it's proving a lot trickier than I expected. Almost have all the bolts off now, just got to remove a screw that was already stripped on the grill.

I did have a look, but didnt jack it up or anything to have a proper dig into it. It's quite hard to see without getting it up on a ramp. Really should have been more thorough though...

And the car is white

I'm in South Wales, near Abergavenny.

Thanks guys, will try and make a few posts later so I can post pictures.
