Removed all the paint, not the best replacement panel but its better then the rust that i had before
then fibreglassed the panel to get the level right. then a little filler

Looking good, mate. I remember going mine and it just seemed never ending! Worth it in the end though. Mines not perfect either but when the engines in you don't notice.
