Ouch ! Well if its any consolation, I bought a whole new rear end to attempt the restoration on my red 80 Sport , spent a fortune on welding on the rear end, the inner front wings had similar problems too and the engine was fu**ed as well so had to source another DX engine......in the end I just had to give up as I was running out of ££££'s
I'd have expected the brake lines/pipes and maybe fuel lines as well.....you've done a hell of a lot better than I did as at least you have achieved a car with a running engine so far, and very quickly too.....
