Can the plenum chamber be removed? LH/LX

Hi Gurus. Is it possible to remove the plenum chamber to do repairs to it? Mine, as alot of others, is badly rusted around the left hand air intake.
Any advice appreciated.

it sure can mate clean up where all the spot welds are and start unpicking them by slowly drilling them out from the top, the are a lot of spot welds under the front screen so that will be coming out, i just done mine but i didntunpick the whole plenum i did it from under side,, does yours look something like this ????





heres how mine turned out




good luck with it mate, i was putting mine off for a long time but knew it wasnt far off me getting to it as im almost finished the inside and belive it or not it wasnt that hard !!

I dont know why but for some reason i was turning my head upside to look at those pics

Mine is pretty much the same. Hope it turns out as good as yours.

So i take it i have to remove the assembly above it first? The one that holds the wiper rods/arms?

lol the last 2 pic's i took were of it upside down SLR Goat, its on a Rotisserie so dont worrie mate your eyes are just fine

and yep you have to take the top section off if your gonna do the repair from the top side, which means, wipers off, wiper mechanism out, the front glass, the bonnet, wiper motor off, gaurds, nose cone, front bar e.t.c so you can get to all the spot welds, could turn into a pretty big job
