I've found a short section of rusted chassis at the front just under the gas locker door. Does anyone have details of how you get at the chassis i.e. freeing the aluminium shell from the chassis along the bottom edge. I've got someone who will do the welding and just need an idea of what's involved before diving in! Thanks

Have look at this chaps YouTube channel, he is restoring a 1992 Familia.

Thanks I've watched this but can't quite work out how he separated the chassis and aluminium sheet. It's all so fast and even slowed down it's stop go filming. Thanks though

The complete record of his work can be found in this thread..

The Story of Rusty Bottom

It is great work...

There are now 8 parts to his story now. If you look at them on YouTube you can ask him questions
