The scuttle panel under the decker panel is completely gone no way its repairable, all around the pedal board hole is rotten, all along the top under the scuttle panel is gone.
It would be helpful if somebody had or could get a pattern

Danny,
Speak to these guys
Lloyd Specialist Developments | Engineering Professionals | Automotive Enthusiasts
as they are doing exactly that sort of repair on mine as we speak.
Not pretty but it has to be done.
Whether they will do it again might be another matter.

Not entirely sure but it won't be cheap as its a lot of work. I haven't seen the car since June! Last time I saw it it had no interior at all, just a bare shell and a whole lot of wires.
The cost isn't so much the issue but I'm of the opinion that if a classic hasn't been apart it will be rusty in one or all of the usual places. It may look great on the outside and it may have a high asking price but unless you can show me the pictures that document the rust being removed its barely worth its scrap value.
I'm happy mine will be worth its pre work value plus my bills but that's not the point as it isn't going anywhere.
It will be the best family transporter you can buy. I did toy with an L322 but couldn't quite manage to part with mine.
Hope yours goes ok but the Lloyds have their heart in the right place (and they have an LSE!)

Hope?
Its off to the scrap yard, much of it is too far gone and will make a good spares supply for the other lse. Engine could end up in my 1987 classic

That's a nice thought, same age as mine. I considered upping the poke department but that was six years ago & as the car was original with only 40k on the clock (51k now) I opted to leave well alone - I often wonder if I made the right choice, but now I'm getting too old

Yes, It's all coming off and the rust will be done and photographed.
Think I might have found a bulkhead in Holland, just need to see some more photos, I'll let you know

Edit to add: yeah no, you're correct that could turn out expensive.
