Not yet. School and work have kept me busy enough that I haven't gotten to tear up the liner yet. Hopefully this weekend or next I will get a chance.

But the leak that led to water under the liner was a crack where he had tried to speed line over a wire that was unsuccessful. Looks like I will be grinding up the passenger side liner and assessing the rest of the damage. Since the liner peels up easily would a paint scrapper work or does it have to be a wire brush?
which way ???

I really want to see an outside picture showing all this chopped and mods!

Also, I'd make sure & have a grinding wheel or 2, and sanding disks or/and flapper wheel - they cut the rust much faster

I agree with others that posted, I've seen a lot worse than that. :-)

There's still a lot of years left in that XJ !
