I agree with the love/hate thing. as for the weather right now it's looking promising. (crosses fingers)
Sadly I don't think even if the weather permits I will be able to pressure wash anything, because it's my nieces 1st birthday today and there's no way I'm going to miss that.

Update. Sold the Motor and transmission. Now I can begin getting the engine compartment ready for the for the Rotary, wile I save up some more cash for it.
Stared with the rust hole on the passenger side inner fender.

Image

Removed the cowl to access one of the fender bolts.
Image

Cowl seems to be in good condition.
Image

Random photos of some things i will need to address.
Image
Image

Off to a good start. :(
Image
Image
Image

Might still be usable.
Image

Fenders off
Image
Image

The the panels I'm going to be replacing.
Image
Image

No wonder these things rust out.
Image

I don't think the antenna hole is suppose to look like this.
Image
Image

Did some drilling of spot welds and grinding of bead welds. Before/after
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image

My drill ran out of juice so I called it a night.

Small update: Replacement panels are cut and ready to be welded. Removed battery tray as well.

Need to rent a welder and some clamps.
After being laid off for 3 weeks, progress has almost come to a complete halt(back to work today though).
But do not fear, I will continue non the less.
Very glad I had decided to save some of the money from my tax return.
I owe, I owe, It's off to work I go.

Remember: Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like banana. ;)

Let me take a picture of the remaining parts of the tray and then ask that question again. (not trying to be a dick, sarcasm is hard to covey in text).
I hacked it up pretty good when I removed it. It's in a bought 6-7 pieces. sorry bro.

You can call me Trevor.
As long as I can keep the money coming in I will keep putting it towards this project. I want to see this project through.

The panels a little warped on top from welding(will be covered up by the fender), but over all I pretty happy with the way it came out.
