Any recommendations on what to take from the donor cars and advise on working on these cars would be great.
And if anyone has any questions about the car, fire away!

Looks like you've found some decent tin worm inside that quarter! Perhaps it'd be worth taking some cuts from the shells to be scrapped? If nothing else it'd give you a pattern to work to prior to cutting into yours

Jam, tell your dad that he ought to be grateful that you aren't doing a college course on slaughtering sheep, prior to a job in an abattoir.

yeah its not too great is it, the Pininfarina badge was missing one of its pins and that left a hole to the outside for the water to get in and its just pooled in there and the previous owner protected one side but didn't protect the other :/, I'll certainly have a look in the other cars to see how bad they have it, but I have a feeling they will both be in similar condition, there is a possibility the 16v is alright and if it is ill cut it out along with the boot floor as I'm planning on cutting that out and putting it in my car as its got no rust on it whatsoever in the 16v (probably the only bit of that 16v that isn't just rust and holes ahah)

aha yeah that would be quite the mess. My dad was no worse tbf, when I was younger my dad had a Tipo 16v, I've heard of and seen pictures of his coilovers in the kitchen spare wheels in the front room etc.

Well the car was dry today when I came to it and for the first time i got to the car and the windows wernt all fogged up, however it hasn't rained yet so that's probably why
I had a feel about where the water was pooling, the floor itself was fine and all solid, however along the edge with the sill was very bad, it was also very wet, I have a feeling its gonna need some new metal on the inner sill around that area
Hmm yeah never thought to check that one about the door shower screen
I'll check that one too Paul

They are often torn/damaged after previous excursions inside there. The important thing is to ensure the flap is located properly at the bottom, there's a howto somewhere "Moisture barrier fix" I think
