   All done now thanks,I want to check for rust and battery is in the boot,I saw somebody on the 106 rallye forum doing it on a pretty serious build so I kinda copied the idea.

   Link to the 106rallye forum is better as some pics seem to be missing but I can't find it right now.

   just lots of spot welds and 3 layers of steel, we removed that to fit a satchell mounting and the lowest layer was like a caterpillar had been at a leaf.
