Well the panel is welded in now, still gotta weld up inside but its on and not to bad, only took a couple of pics and cant upload um at the moment. Ordered up two more bits from schofields but that should be it the amount of welding is slowly coming down in size! Shouldn't be to long before the mammoth d.a. and filling sessions!

Got the rest of the rear arch all done this morning, then spent a while trying to open the drivers door, I would not unlock from inside or out :shock: got it in the end but tricky ( although now I know the nak :wink: ) Whipped the middle sliding window out, loads of rust so had to replace 85% of the metal along the bottom, only the corners were left, and had to cut back a fair whack to to get all the rust! Oh and there's not a drop filler on that!!

Tomorrows hit list is driver front arch and step, glad this weather is keeping up!
