Also any chance of photos of the bad bits on the bulkhead - would be useful to others to see where these things are going to rust in 10 years time.

The Vehicle started life as a Caloundra City Council car, it was used to launch Surf boats. It has a Gal chassis so my guess is that it was either special order (not sure it this was an option) or it was stripped and Galvanised when the council purchased it.

I have some photos and i willl upload them tomorrow arvo.
Areas of Rust are:

1. The top the foot well (both sides) directly under bonnet hinges
2. Around the holes for the wiring harness.
3. In the Pillars under door rubbers.

Hope this helps.
