Good work. Your pics of inside the bumper have made me scared to take mine off to check inside.
Be interested to see pics if you do attack the rot in the arches/sills. Mine need doing but I'm worried its a big job for my first attempt at welding.

No plans to tackle the welding just yet - will leave that till the summer. The sills are actually pretty strong - I'm yet to determine if that plate is covering rust or just badly blended in. From what I can see the rear lower arch/sill is the area that needs the most attention.
I've just started learning to weld myself ( my first attempts are on the chevette thread a couple of weeks ago). It's daunting at first but as long as you've got a decent welder you should be fine. The way I see it, you can't make it any worse than it already is!
