Started filling all the 10mm hole that were drilled from when the dealer had it rust treated back when it was new.
They weren't scared to drill random holes everywhere to spray the rust treatment in.

It's nice when you find bog inside the car and a random hole. This quarter panel on the passengers side did have 16mm of bog in it so I guess they started levering the quarter out from the inside.

Some of the other old repairs, looks like they cut patches out from inside the car to hammer the sill panel out.

Did the rust preventative stuff work well? The shell seems alright from what I'm seeing.

Got the other side flares done and put it on the ground to see how it looks.
This is with no springs sitting on the bump stops to check clearances.
This is at standard ride height, will probably lower it about 20mm.
glen
such a quality build sir!
as the owner of an original A9X hatch
i must query the corner pieces on the rear spoiler
the lower outside edge is too short
and should come down to the qtr panel upper curve
hope you can fix this as this is all i can pick!
choice of wheels and extended flare sections , outstanding!
love your work!
cheers

Got sick of using a cheap brake line flaring tool so lashed out and brought a sykes pickavant flaring tool but my super dodgy tube
straightener make from roller door wheels still works ok.

Started wiring the body harness, had to sort through and cut up some spare wiring looms to make one good one up.
