Nice dog, what flavour? Looks like a slim bullmastiff with a long snout?

cheers for the comments the areas that were marked with a crayola are around both wishbone mounts and the drivers sill the worrying thing is it failed an mot in 2009 for them 3 areas then it was passed but then failed in 2011 for the exact same thing!
i can not work out whats happened with the scuttle panel as it has paint peeling off and looks like new metal underneath?
mostly it looks fairly solid well more solid than i expected but there is a growing to do list but we will see what its like once stripped but i might build a temp garage first and im debating whether a rollover jig would be any help. |

i have to keep looking at the pics as i have not quite taken it all in yet 
the bottom of both doors are in need of some love as the drivers door which looks the best of the two has came apart on the seem and the passenger side is not quite so bad but has surface rust on the outside in both bottom corners.
the boot lid also has some rot around the seem near the latch so im now trying to find out if its going to be easier to fix them or source replacements. |

A ha, thought so I've got a full flavour Bullmastiff, best dogs in the world by far, EVER!! Good luck with ORP by the way. Seek out nuneatonmk1less on here as it's his old car and I'm sure he can tell you lots about it

Some attention needed on this but hopefully it won't be too bad. I assume you can weld yourself, or know someone who can?

Well the scuttle paint I would say was done to hide something as when I had ORP that was red so has been painted at some point recently
The dent in the drivers side foot well is from its little off at the "Ring

do you mean the bit between the bottom of screen and the bonnet or the bit where the wiper motor is hidden?
as the bit where the wiper motor is located has black sealant painted on about 8" each side but after giving it a scientific poke it seems the drivers side is solid but the passenger side feels like it has card board under it lol
the bit with the red paint falling off really does feel solid  |
