Woah, another update within 4 years  :blink:

 

I've managed to get a bit more done over the past few Fridays. I started by removing the drivers rear arch.That was pretty straight forward.

 

Sitting the new one in place highlighted one of the corners being the wrong shap so that took a bit of fine tuning.

It turned out ok in the end.

Got it spot welded in where I could.

Then I cut out the bottom of the rear quarter and started cutting out the rot and mocking up the filler panel and stiffener.

Removed the rest of the quarter and welded the arch to the seat bulkhead.

Got this all welded in and primed.

Now I'm up to this point. The quarter is gripped in place and ready to fit but i think I might tackle the rust hole in the bottom of the companion bin first while I have easy access.

Hopefully back with more soon.

That’s quick progress since the last restart. 

I found writing a list of tasks helped progress.  Less standing around wondering what to do
