Not been on for a while due to building crap but keeping an eye on things.  That rear end is looking the nuts Carlos,  keep it up.

I'll post some more pictures of progress tomorrow! I should be able to get the valance looking a lot better

[Carlos W]

She's developing a lovely rear!

 

I've always been a bum man, actually that's not true!

 

 

 

Mix, fill, sand, repeat.

 

I've primed it, I'm now going to rub it down to ensure there are no high or low spots.

 

I've got a bit more to do around the arch and into the valance

Thanks Darren

 

As with many parts of this project, I'm getting better at applying filler, if I'd been good at applying filler to start with I'd probably be finished the filling stage!

I know how you feel mate.

I have just welded up the sills on my Xsara, and as i wanted a factory look to them, the patches had to be butt welded in ground up and filled and they ended needing huge patches  due to the rot so lots of filler work afterwards and as the weather has been bad, i did it in the garage. Don't you just love the taste of filler dust!!!?? 

Especially in huge quantities for long periods of time!!

 

It's looking spot on though mate, cant wait to see this in a nice new coat of paint.

 

Good luck

 

Ben

Ah, Paint! 

 

Something I've been thinking about a lot!

 

I may go purple, with a white roof, and white van grille ????

 

Any opinions are welcome

Looking good just found this project im following :) cant wait for the next update.

[Carlos W]

There isn't really a lot to say really! Filler takes longer to go off in the cold, the amount of parts in my garage is hindering progress, that's about it really!

 

There are a couple of little bits of welding to finish off, mounts for the bonnet locks, some small repairs to the scuttle lip, and reinforcement plates for the solid front sub frame

 

A day of seam sealing is on the cards too!

[Carlos W]

Time, Time, Time!

 

I've never had time to get in the garage. To be fair I could've got in there on Saturday but I was too hung over!

 

The only thing I've got to show is this

Progress is slow Matt, the aim is to get it primed soon and a top coat on as soon as the weather warms up a bit!
