Is that the lad in Darlo?
Cant confirm that Peters forum name is what Jeff has written but id confirm Peter Gavi is from Darlo and does some excellent work.

Good luck with the Rally fella
Yeah - that's the guy I was thinking of... cheers.

Just doing a pk barn find with a mate that has been sat around for 15 years outside (so why i have called it a barn find feek knows) buts its rotten through and through and makes yours look prestine!!

As has been said, allthough it looks bad, thats not too big a job at all in the right hands. If you struggle your way, could help but we are in Wiltshire, but the offers there. Go for it, it would be worth it for the smile on your face the first time you take it out :D

forgot to ask, if a lot of the lower rear is replaced how do you retain frame number. is it the same place as sprint i.e under n/s panel?

Those porous welds look like run out of gas or rusty metal welds. Must have been a bummer hearing that news from your shot blaster.

Thanks for the kind offer... yours must be in bad shape if it makes this one look pristine! lol....
I've spoken to a local guy who was recommended to me & he's confident that he can sort it properly.

Good luck with your PK project.
