so i removed the seats and carpet to check the rest of the floor pan, which has surface rust but nothing to serious. going to get the holes welded this week then rustproof the inside and waxoyl inside the sill's as they are in good condition, then when weathers a bit warmer it's out with the waxoyl and under seal again to do under the car.

edit:sorry picture's of rust are blurred. no good with a camera
 
Good man getting it sorted asap before it gets terminal. Usually cameras have a macro button for taking close ups, looks like a flower (and the one for taking long distance pics looks like some mountains).
 
haven't do much to the car lately,but i've just painted 1 of my wheel's.

since my last post I've fitted PH2 headlight,VZR grill,FSE pressure boost valve, fidanza flywheel, K&N filter, 2 1/4" power flow exhaust with de-cat pipe and just fitted B C racing coilovers. Just got to get the tracking done as it turn right a lot quicker than it does left.
 
Car is looking mint, was the colour of my first Almera and I miss it :(

If I am honest though the wheels would have looked better a bright colour.
 
I think I'm over due an update. car been to K-Kustom or a blow -over respray and new bumper to be fitted, the back bumpers lost the hole for the tow bar and the front has no cracks in it now.
