Hi all,
It's been a while in the making and preparation...
As an aside, I will also post in 'Parts Wanted' as I am after a spare wheel well.
Some progress shots (note the dates!)
The find (by someone else) and transfer to me:

By the looks of it we're going to be in for a very thorough and well done resto
All the best!
Aaaahh the memories....Mine had very similar "Speed Holes" in it after blasting.I'm just glad all that is finished.Good luck with the build and keep up with the updates and pictures.As mentioned,at least you've started off the right way and you can see what you've got to deal with.Cheers,Jamie.

Yes, it's a little like... 'but wait, there's more'.

Some updates..... Photos are from a few months ago.
Another year has passed, another set of club badges and stickers.... ;D
Have recently secured the rear window area thanks to 'wrangler'.

Looking good so far, I can only hope that mine has'nt got the same amount of cancer when I get it blasted. Early indications are looking fairly good, though my sills are a lot worse than yours lucky I knew when I got the car so I got a pair of full sills from rares I'll have to get inner panels I think. Put some pics of the back when it's done I would like to see how they repaird the rear screen area.
All the best, Jim
Great photos and keep them coming.
Glad the wheel well worked out ok. Good job on the rear floor pan, looks good. Keep us informed on the progress. Cheers, Jack

Jack - yes it worked our really (wheely) well (sorry - couldn't resist the pun). ::)
Thank-you too for your assistance.
More updates (from February).
Been a little slow on the posting....
To do - sills, back window, front subframe, headlight peaks and around the bottoms of front and rear guards...
