So do I. I don't want to have to ever do this again.

Just remember your reward will be driving a rust free FB.A rare car to have rust free anywhere these days.

Thats definitely the plan anyway.

You wouldn't believe the rust I've found, you'd cringe at it (I did). If it was easy to get at places it would be better to. The boot and roof are nothing compared to the firewall and the windscreen washer panel area.

I think it was a case of I got what I paid for in the end. I sorta knew what I was getting into though. It was pay $2200 for this one now and have lots of rust, or pay $5000 and still have rust but not as much.

I stand by my decision.
