Just remembered to check this thread.
I still have the coupe, but I'm in a different corner of the country so I've only been able to drive it a few times since the middle of last year.

Here's the result of the rust repairs.

Left hand plenum.


With a surprise!


A tin of bolts! I'm guessing that they are from when I had the car painted.


Rear window looked like this. Nasty patch.


Hiding this...


And this...


What came out and what went back in.


And the end result.


The windscreen went back in easier without the dodgy patch in the way but was still tight, then the paint was touched up and it looks good as new. Still doesn't have a parcel shelf though because the one that was in there warped and went mouldy from the water leaking in.



So now that I'm away for longer than I originally thought, I'm thinking of taking it off the road to save the rego money for a few years to eventually put into rebuilding the engine. One problem is that my XR6 Turbo now feels slow to me, so the coupe will need more power than I was originally planning!
