thats all iv done in the last two weeks, plan is to strip all under seal then do all the weleding then use 3m sealer around the back arches inside the sills ect then use 3m sealer then 3m stone chip for the under side,engine bay will then any holes welded front panel aswel
then shot blasted then paint it all with AUTOCOLOUR 2K paint inside will be painted aswel,

getting stuck in there now mate, only thing being once all done it should look good but with the mk3.5 quarter it will look like a ringer and affect its value greatly surely? + the back panel etc is diff for filler neck, good luck btw
