Aloha All,
I just finished taking the body tub apart on my TF. I was generally suprised at how well some it has held up after close to fifty years of service. For the most part the hard ware was a bit rusty but came apart okay. The screws for the floor boards, drive shaft tunnel didn't want to budge however. Screws, bolts and cage nuts that were exposed on the under side of the car will need to be replaced. Wood screws and carriage bolts were in good condition. The sheet metal will need a few patches on the inner fender wells and passenger side sill. Termites or some other wood boring insect destroyed most of the rear of the tub and the side curtain storage box. Dry rot destroyed most of the passenger side main rail along with the tenions and parts of the "A" and "B" pillars. So soon the car carpentry will begin.
