Done some more today, getting there.
Put on a new scuttle corner,not very good fit mind,had to cut some off, but expected abit of fettling as its not an orginal panel.

Also cleaned all the drivers arch and red oxided, still another plate to do at bottom when i get my floor repair panel.
Before When i cleaned most of it up ready for more welding.

After all cleaned up ,welds dressed and red oxided.

Also started on filling my seams,where ive started deceaming,it gonna take ages to get it looking right,but not to bad.

comments welcome.
