My Granada Mk1 and an 'RO Performance' Restoration - angry and disappointed, money lost

 It could be worse I suppose. This is driver's side above the chassis rail adjacent to the boot and wheel housing (left)

 It probably would have been an easy fix with the diff out and on a ramp. I'll need to grind off the rust and bobbly weld and see how bad things are 😠 Fingers crossed the beam doesn't need replacing. After a run over with the needle scaler there is a large hole right next to the pin where the bolt goes through.  The depth of the hole is about half of my fingernail so very deep. Yep, replacement needed. 

 Wish it was on a ramp with the axle out, access would be much better. Need to hit this with the needle scaler and keep fingers crossed.  One thing at a time for the moment though. This was a previous boot floor repair done many years ago that had exceeded it's lifespan. I could see rust and gaps from inside the outer wheelhousing where the metal had corroded away. Gaps into the boot floor as mentioned above.

Used the needle scaler on the chassis leg and inside the wheel house.  Bit of welding needed so fuel tank removed for access and safety. Underneath the chassis needs work too. The beam that carries the diff looks to be ok on this side of the car. 🤞

 Because of the wheel arch/sill misalignment I've had to remove the end part of the sill/ Both quarter and sill were new panels.  This was behind the sill. Prior to fitting the quarter and sill there was easy access to this.

 I wonder what's under these blisters on the wing...?  Oh! It's rust. 🤯

 I've just removed the LH gutter rail from the A-pillar...  and this is what is underneath! 😠😠😠 This is not an accidental miss of a spot of rust. FFS 9k paint job this.
