I've been busy with the doors and tail gates, will post some pictures soon.
In the meantime, splatted some white Gravitex on the underside.

Been working on the bonnet this evening. That X shaped strengthener on the underside is only attached at the corners. One of which was quite rotten, another just about okay with some treatment I think. There was no factory paint under there, so it's quite amazing it's lasted so well really. Just checked out prices for a new bonnet - £200+ ! And probably won't fit either. I'll have to repair this one.

As promised, some pics of the rear door repair. I'm really happy with how it's turned out. There was quite a lot of hammer work after the welding!

And been working on the rotten bonnet too:
Made up my own corner repair from two pieces welded together -

Not given up, there's been lots of little jobs, some still to do. Very glad to have her off the rotisserie now.

good work on that bonnet, I gave up on mine and bought a better 2nd hand one in the end, it was all crusty but at the front end instead
that corner piece looks spot on though fair play
