Tonight i removed the rust n rot from the drivers flitch i then found the hinge playe waa totally rotten out as seen in pic so i replaced this with the metal behind yhen cut the rot out as i used it for reference to get the new one in place along with the flitch repair panel. I ve tacked it in and need to fully seam weld it in tomorrow. I re fitted the door and clamped a panel in theres a little fettling to do before the a panel sits in nicely hopefully finish welding the shell tomorrow then have it all shultzed and reDy to prep for paint by the weekend.

Well finally yesterday and tonight got some work done on miffy. The drivers flitch panel is now in as well as some small patch repairs to inner wing. Also shultzed it all in drivers wheel arch. Stripped and cleaned off brakes and painted caliper yellow and also painted centre on the wheel black. Oh and also fitted all the duct work on the drivers side as some previous owner thought it would be a good idea to remove it all and stuff the holes up with yellow dusters lol.
