Good to hear at least, and think it could be the leak so will take a look, i really do have some shocking pics to put up mind you, and dont want to do any more work till i have a better idea of what im up against, but to give you an idea the inner sill panel on the outward side of the plastic box behind both seats are rotted right though, took a grinder to the drivers side see how far it went and lol, put my head through it, fabricated some .9 and welded in there nicely but i cant see any posts covering this part if the sill, mind you have gota do outside box section both sides too

Good list sorry backed up on me phone and reposted all the messages didn't know, cant delete either? But in all it does look like thats wear this car is heading, i might strip the sills down and refabricate the sill and box sections for future use too, might as well make templates while its being scrapped and might still be able to salvage, wont know till i post me pic or take the grinder to the car
