Good work macca.
You will have saved a fortune doing all that work yourself.
At this rate you could do me a homer or 2 when you have finished im quoted 2-3k to get mine done later this yr.
All the best with the resto look forward to seeing some more pics. :wink:
Thanks mate. I seem to have lost my way of late but I'm hoping to get back to it tomorrow morning before I go to my work.
Good luck with yours mate. I am now trying to have it on the road by the time of Volksfling at Biggar next year. :roll:

Whens this then im not in any clubs yet as mine has been off the road for 6 yrs and now im getting my act together.
Do you have any dates for this meet!!
Is it a club meet or is it just a get together.
Any info would be good as i would like to show my project once its completed next yr as it will be good to check out what else is going on in scotland and meet a few folk.
:wink:

There were a load of us from Scottishvag.com who went down this year.
Had a good day on Saturday but woke up on Sunday and it was tipping it down.

Is it the whole rear panel or just the rear bottom quarter panel, like I replaced first. If it is the main rear panel and it is only at the bottom then you could get a rear lower vallance panel and weld it in where it wont be seen behind the rear bumper. I went for the whole rear panel as the number plate light holes were badly rusted also and it would be a nightmare to try and patch them.

The only bit I didnt do was the bit shown in the last picture.
I also cut out the rusty bits on the lip of the scuttle panel and started to weld some new bits in.
I will take some more pics tomorrow and post them.
