Exactly what I was thinking, that’s pretty much standard condition from what I’ve seen in French cities! Good luck with the repairs, make sure you check the tailgate is water tight before accepting the repair.
Fitted the engine cover & the t5.1 battery cover to tidy the engine bay. Checked the threads on here, which, as usual, really helped.
I did manage to buy the wrong battery cover at my first attempt. I'm sure I will find a use for it!!!

What are they like inside?
Pretty basic, lid doesn’t hold itself open but for what I want it for I’m not all that bothered. May investigate putting some springs on there to see if I can get it to stay open on its own.
@bully1808. The looks good. Would it be possible to give a description of what's involved in taking out the old one and fitting the new please?. Cheers.
yeah sure, plenty of YouTube vids and advice on here but my take below...
Pull off side panel of dash using trim tool and disconnect airbag plug.
trim tool to under left most air vent until it pops off, takes some doing but will eventually pop off.
Three torx screws under glove box and another 4 inside then pull glove box out.
Further one torx screw up in dash holding upper glove box in place.
Trim tool behind trim around left air vent next to stereo until this also pops out.
Trim tool behind upper dash along left side and top until this pops out.
Remove metal clip on bottom and fit to new glove box.
Fitting new one in reverse of above.
Took about 20mins in total.
Take your time with trim tool and be careful not to push / pull too hard in case you break something.
Today.
De-chromed the front end (grille strips, DRL strips and lower grille)
Fitted rusty lee single passenger swivel
Tomorrow
Remove rusty lee single passenger swivel and replace with existing BEBB swivel safe job (RL sits too high for SWMBO)
Fit front splitter
Attempt rear ARB bolt repair
Wash it?

Oh mate, I am gutted and feeling for you. Absolute shitter that the floor has taken a hit. I truly hope that it can be sorted.
Also known as a very busy day, nice one. Love the wheels a lot.
Nice one, makes the engine bay look so much tidier.
I use the bonnet to make my engine bay look tidy - I just close it and hey presto!
Washed Floyd, removed all the rust particles, Floyd was temporarily pink with rust signs, dried with my heated blower dryer, cut the paint with my DA then coated with Turtle Hybrid Solution Ceramic wax. Within minutes of finishing the heavens opened and the line on the turtle spray bottle “Insane beading” proved to be very true.
It’s better than my ceramic coated Q5.

I do miss opening the bonnet and seeing a proper rocker cover or two. v6/8 owners will appreciate the two statement.
