yup - once the 'moisture seal' had been removed (*underseal).

He is 20 years old mind, and never had its arse replaced :)
Be careful how much you hoak around, I did the same and spent a few months repairing holes, replacing both outriggers ect. A friend suggested lifting the body off to check around rear section where a frame attaches , turned out to be rotten right through and what was left was paper thin. I recommend you try and check the bits you cant see with a mirror and torch before you have pumped a lot of cash into repairs.

Sadly, this is very true. its almost always worse where you can't see it......:(

Still worth fixing though.:)
 
Here we go - back on the road :)

... take the anti roll bar back off and paint it
