I'd rather have the window open then have engine smells coming through the vents.
I couldn't think of another way of doing it without water and everything else coming in

More rust.

I'm looking forward to getting this area rebuilt as I knew it was bad. I wonder what some of the members on here are hiding...
Anyhow I need to rebuild some of the chassis leg before I cut anymore out as it's very weak.
Started cleaning some of the edging

Good job, and top marks for the detailed pics showing the rot. A WIP ain't a WIP without the bad bits - the calm before the storm!

Thats some nasty rust youve found there. Like you say i would bet that 90% of the cavs on here have rust just as bad but its all hidden.

I know you like cutting rust out so you must be loving it lol 8-)
