My fantastic find (warning: graphic content)

[mikinoz]

So it has rained for days in Sydney and the old MK1 fogs up like no one elses business.

On Friday night my son left the rear window open 1 inch and then I had 2 inches of water in the back footwell on Sat morning.

So I decided to take out the carpet to dry it, and along the way one thing led to another and it resulted in the whole carpet being removed, and then the underlay. I am happy to report that I have found that I have more work to do than I first anticipated...







So there is a fair amount of water been in there. The large plug was MISSING and the overnight rain on Saturday night has shown me where the water is penetrating from the firewall.

that looks not so good mate I think you have a lot to do with the rust in the next days.

But thank your son for left open the windows, otherwise you wouldn't seen it and in a few month you may would sit with your bottom on the road

Cheers

I bought a Mk1 LS years ago and someone had repaired the corroded through brake pipe with a bit of fuel hose and 2 hose clamps!! True!!!
