Got some time on T5 yesterday and got rear arch liners, O/S sill cover and rear bumper off.
So happily inner rear arches ok - bit flaky but not gone through so caught in time for treatment and good paint. Rear bumper brackets gone but they’re bolt on so ok. So O/S sill holed as suspected and probably N/S will be similar when I get that cover off. Will get a pair of sills and use as repair sections as frontal and rear sections looks solid so don’t particular want to disturb those.
Exhaust hanger area probably needs a patch as feels a bit crispy and can excavate a little with screwdriver - not a bad welding area to get to.
Fingers crossed all very salvageable.
Will source brake, service parts and bumper brackets in coming days and get on with ordering sills for body shop chap. Then MOT ! Simples
