Hello all.
I've just started looking over my puma for the first time after picking it up a few weeks back. I've stripped out the interior to be greeted with the following:
Mostly surface rust without penetration or weakening the structure. On the drivers side there is a hole that you could poke a biro through but I'm sure if I gently cleared away some of the flakes a bratwurst would clear it without damage. Not good:
The same patch from underneath:
So, my question is - which of the following is the best approach?
1. Get it pro welded by a decent garage
2. do a DIY MIG repair on it
3. Weld in a brand new box section joining the sills for the rear mounts and turn it into a track car
4. Strip the car for parts and send it to the puma graveyard
Thoughts? Cheers in advance
