yes mate, we have the corsa up in the air now to look under it, unfortunatly it turned out to be a rustbucket, so we got to welding some new plates to it, both sides under the sills were rotten or on there way, so i bought some new sill panels to weld on, the rear end of chassis leg where it meets the suspension is also rotten, both sides,

the good news is we have sorted most of them out now, welded one side up and ready for the sideskirts and arches to be stuck on, whats left to weld up is the other sill panel and a little bit of rust under the car near the sills. once all the welding is done, im more or less there then, just a bit more body work then it will hopefully be ready for paint. :) also we have finally welded the boot floor up and its now currently in filler.

some pictures of it
