Hi Neil and welcome.
Those HR's can be great projetcs to learn your metal working skills on. There aren't to many panels on those that don't succumb to the dreaded rust disease.
Even the glovebox lid rust's out

Cheers John

Hi everyone, sorry bit computer eliterate,this my daughter ipad I don't own a computer. The hr is a wagon it was my fathers,he was going to dump it .rust in usual places,front fenders door, rear but not sills. Car was garaged all it's life. I have started drivers side at front fender. (Thought might as well start the hardest area to see if I could do it) come up not bad. Took a bit to get shape right as there was nothing left of panels to go off. Done bottom of doors but not completely happy with them so may redo. Rear wheel arch was bit of an effort but got there in end. Now in rear behind wheel arch in some pretty scary seams.
