Looking good timski :D

How did you go about repairing the rear arches… how much metal did you replace and what panels did you use? Repairs look very well hidden. Did the car have a glass sunroof and what are you going to fit in its place, big hole looks a bit scary 8O

Keep up the good work

Looking good Tim,

Let us know about this weekend…

Markwon, it has got a glass sunroof, I'm inclined to keep it, kinda like it and it was the original dealer fit.

markwon, we got some pattern parts for the rear arches etc,cut out the rot without taking to much of the original panel and welded in new section.
Next we ground and smoothed the weld marks and painted over the top!
The two holes where the number plate sits where also plated and filled etc
All other rust has been ground out and rust trated ready for painting etc
Definately got my work cut out on this one!

keep on keeping on

Hi Tim Mate,

Just the Usual resto pics will be good to have mate.

The better part will be to see a bill for it so we can get an idea of what work was done & how much it did cost.

That is only if you  guys are OK to disclose the figure. :mrgreen:

Cheers Mate :wink:
