any updates?

Always doing something Brett 
well i've managed to build a dolly so I can spin the car round in the unit to give me a little better access and light to the rear end as there is more rust at that end also.  one thing I really wish we had in the unit and that's a level floor




well I cracked on with the boot and rear quarters, the factory jack bracket and floor which it sits on was rotten so that got replace and my battery will be located there.
I didn't take many photos as I just had to crack on with it because I had to finish the rust as its driving me insane.
so I got it done and under sealed the floor, 
im really pleased with it and now I can start to sort out the subframes and get her rolling again.

Fantastic work - I know from my own limited experiences tackling rust it can seem like a never ending uphill battle.  Good to see it progressing after all your efforts.  Keep it up -  be good to see another FC back on the road

Thanks ken, well time for a bit of an update to keep myself and  anyone that's interested happy,
Managed to get all the rear sub and diff all painted and looking nice, all the rear hubs were split and discs and pads thrown in the bin.
while I was there I got rid of the dust shields and removed the rear bearings,
I was thinking of having a fuel tank in the boot but after a bit of a think id prefer the standard tank keeping the back free and uncluttered so I cleaned up the tank and repainted it as it was completely rust free which is the first time ive said that about anything on the turbo ll.
stuff anymore talking as im not the worlds best with words, but have a few pictures

So just a couple more bits to tackle on the back end,
1. The rust around the rear window seal
2. The massive dent in the rear quarter

Hopefully by midday Sunday I should be the prod owner of an s4 and im hoping to steel a few bits from it for the turbo ll
Wish It came up a lot earlier as I would have used the S4 but hay ho what can you do.

Things have been a little slack on the fc front as i've been stupidly busy at work and also trying to get a bit of carp fishing in while the weathers been good, but as its started to turn for the worse I'm back at it and its moved on a little bit since I was last on here most of the work happen a while back but ive just not had time to upload pics and so on.

managed to find myself a doner car,
which I wish I had found earlier as id of used the shell as its rust free apart from the rear hatch lock area, but the guy I had it from had cut all the front tubs out and all the framework for the inside of the doors but it was ideal for what I needed.

To be honest I'm not sure I'll just build it how I think it should be.
It will be clean poss stanced but nothing silly as I will be using it as a toy for a weekend blaster. Hoping to do a nice engine build with some decent hp
Nice detailed shaved and tucked bay. Job done. I think lol

Thanks mate. I'm no good with filler so full panels are much better to work with
