update time ,
alot of progress been made, but of all of it slow teidious rot removal , 99% there now though ,
few piccys
drivers inner wing , stripped, new wing brace fitted red oxide denotes repaired areas
whole bottom lip has been replaced
drivers inner sill strengthener has been repaired , new exterior sill fitted
front of inner sill / exterior sill structure
full rear drivers inner arch fitted , exterior arch lip fitted , arech prepped for kit
this full areas been replaced due to rot
repaired
doors refitted to fit wings
drivers floor pan/ sill area repaird as same on pass side
drivers jacking point sections repaired , pulled out , like new
prepped pass inner
now we struck a bit of an issue when refitting the wings
basically the drivers pattern replacemnt was horrid , would not fit and left nearly a half inch gap to the door when lined up to the bonnet ,
sensing k's anger and frustration , i glanced up and noticed the o.e wing that was removed and ask whats stopping it being refitted ??
upon taking it off the wall it was inspected and found to only have 2 areas that needed attention ,
so k worked his magic , ropped the repair sections from the pattern wing and reapaired the o.e jobbie .
fits like a treat
reapired areas
ove a new wing would of been preferred , but upon seeing the fit that is the only option , and will be a1 once stonegaurded ,
so the wing was then welded on
aftermarket pass side a much better panel
so thats half fitted now
- just requiring a few more spotwelds
panel gaps looking well
so wings will be welded up set and finished tomorrow ,
car will be prepped for the spit tomorrow , and will be on and turned over thursday ,
then the real fun begins !!

Wondered what happened to this project.
Good work there
See you done the same as me with the rivnuts for mounting the tanks etc, makes it so much nicer I think rather than screwing into the metal where the bolts come loose due to being off and on so many times
