More repairs this weekend
The A post has had a dodgy repair
Plate fell out leaving a gaping hole lol
Leaving the A post for now until I decide the best way to do it
My dad helping me with the welds
Prepping areas for welding….
Folded some steel and began to mould it to fit…
then i realised that half of what I was grinding was wax oil. So now that's all out and I'm left with this
I had to re-design my plate lol
Like a glove!!
Moved on to the rear of the car
All done. Not the best job in the world, but I'm happy with it
Also got the support plate welded up. My cousin is going to line the back panel up when he comes down. Slowly getting better at welding too, however the holes in my hand say otherwise haha
Also borrowed an engine stand for when the bodywork is done
