Really helping my thinking - from all the pics I've concluded my tub really isn't that bad - and doing the repairs is probably the better option to going through all the trouble seen on here. I might try and buy a few parts for where I need to cut out and replace larger sections, but otherwise piece what i have back together. Now got to work out if I can get parts supplied to UK!These are the very same kind of problems I had with my SA tub. Body mounts way off, dimensions off, etc. I bought a new tub thinking it would save a lot of time over all the body panel patch welding and things like that on the stock tub. But I spent almost a year dealing with fitment issues and crap like that. Convinced me that fixing up the stock tub is the way to go if at all possible. Either way will be a lot of work, but at least you can ensure assembly is how you want it and you are starting with the original skeleton, so dimension are correct.
