What is the saying...
Restore to 100pts drive it back to 80, rinse and repeat.
This is not to imply that this is anything close to a restoration, just a project to bring it back to road worthy status. More like preserving and preemptive repairs. Plus a few personal touches, all of which have been discussed with Charlie to get his input. He has been incredibly supportive with both the repairs and the changes as he feels they are true to his intent when he built VooDoo back in the day.

Pass side rear seat pan bottom was where we found some rust when the parking brake line tether broke off when we were doing the original fuel and brake line refresh. Fortunately it is the only rust we have found and we also found the source of the water, pass side rear qtr window. All the other brown residue seen in the photo is the old cement.

You might consider welding in the torsion bar housing and tunnel reinforcements like on the RS. Cant hurt, and you have great access right now.

Looks like it's ready for Akira Nakai. Could save a lot of time and money and you'd be on the street in a couple of weeks.
