this was the nearside rear window after grinding all the crap out.....looks pretty bad
now this is the first fit of the panel i made up

this one shows a close up of the panel.....the swage line was a little challenging to recreate with a boj job folder

now the panel has been tacked in...one tack at a time with a damp rag to cool and a piece of steel bar behind to try and keep it reasonably straight

nar then owdblades....a couple of pics showing me making and fitting a repair panel on the nearside front door

the door was deffo paggered.....ive cut along a straight edge to remove all the bad stuff

cut and removed...dont look too bad like that really...looks better than it did 10 minutes earlier
