More done
Full scuttle panel / windscreen surround
gone for the full height panel due to rust high up the a pillars, caused by the foam stuffed into the roof corners at the factory and wrapped around the aerial lead, which has become damp over time and rotted the panel from the inside out
Top dash rail fitted at the same time so all 3 sections (scuttle, bulkhead and dash rail) could be spot welded together
Then Finally the shell was removed from the jig to carry on
Passenger side rear arch / 1/4 panel next
sill stiffener and closing panel fitted
Then rear quarter
one side down, one to go!
same again...
couple of brackets to transfer over...
and quarter panel fitted
Lower dash rail next and I started by spot welding the rail and shelf together off the car
I then turned to replacing the inner a post panels, for some reason the mountings for the lower dash rail had not been fitted to the passenger side so I had to make some following the drivers side for shape (remembering to reverse the shape of course to fit passenger side!)
and then finally fitting the dash rail
Slight break from the shell next and on to the doors, at first glance they dont look too bad, indeed the outer skin is rust free but looking closer they have been repaired in the past using magnum skins, the frames have also rusted in other places not covered in the past repair so skins and frame repairs it is...
