No that's all of them. They had an issue with a poor design meaning rain water dripped onto the top of the engine.
Most of them should have the scuttle fix by now, but the 1.9s the injectors come out reasonably easy with a slide hammer even when they are waterlogged, the 2.0s have a habit of snapping.injectors are fine on this one though, runs well. I will investigate the scuttle seal when I am servicing it.
tiny bit on the back doors, but still undecided if I am changing them yet. depends what is in the scrappy.
a bit of surface rust on the inside floor too, both door seals were missing and the ply was saturated. sanded it back and hammerited,
a blank canvas now.

Have you pulled all the old insulation out and discarded it?
I noticed in your first post you mentioned "Bonus, fully insulated" and assumed you were talking about the van, but it looks like you've now stripped it back to the metal?
That short red-haired woman seems to be doing most of the work.

Looking good, it's been done before with Delicas and Vitos so hopefully this goes as well! I've seen the donor Bongo up for sale at some point on the Mazda Bongo owners club, its a shame it's in such a state, the body kit is definitely unique.
my first thought was to try to revive the bongo, but the floor is fred flintstone rotten the rust is horrendous everywhere, the engine has no cylinder head and damaged pistons and the interior is oily and mouldy. its next road trip is to the crusher. 
k knows why they are discontinued they were the best towball cover by miles.
