Soz about edit!
Phuuuuk never had one that bad and our roads are mostly made of salt and potholes!
If you don't mind me asking, what's the low slung red thing in the background in pic 4? ( not the ramp leg lol)

Not a pretty picture. Gone underneath where they all do and where its been trolley jacked to f*ck. Sill is the same. Soo as we got it in the air I could see it
Never mind. Can all be sorted. All the rust is now cut out. Back to good bare metal and we are beginning to fabricate the sheet metal replacements to be welded in.
Needs a beam too. Didn't move a centimetre when we lifted the car on the lift. I'm 22 stone and sat in the boot and bounced. Didn't move!!! Properly cambered, too a wheel off and its worn through the arch liner!!!
Still, all fairly easy to sort out. Good news is its had new drop links!! (,well, have to find something to be pleased about!!!) and has a Pirelli P6000 spare tyre which will do for the other red one! Front to rear brake lines are shot. Using the ones that came off my other one and will by new ones for that later. Issue with the brakes was the drivers side front. New pads on the front but the cariier was properly fullmof rust and brake dust. 5 minutes in the sand blasted sorted that out. Car now rolls pretty nicely, apart from the rubbing rear wheels!!
