The Old Diesel

Good work chap, I like the rear panel and arch repairs, very tidy. Did you get any distortion on the rear arch/side panel?

i though i was going to get a tiny bit of distortion, but there was none. i kept switching from one side to the other whilst cooling the weld down with a cool damp rag. worked a treat

Bonus then

more bits turning up



having to take the wing back to metal because of the dodgy spray paint  <_<

     

lots of progress happening today   

Looking good buddy

thanks bud, i love the colour

all that is left to do now is remove all of the paint from the passenger side sill, repair and then paint it. then i can flat it all down and it should be ready for paint
