Haha should be ok I'm sure the block of wood and big hammer will be useful!

Got the inner a welded on p/s today only slight amount if adjustment with the hammer. Holes will need filling slightly aswell

Door isn't actually bolted up in this picture as I can't find the bolts and washers :/

It's my own fault when we welded the inner wing repair on the apost moved closing the gap around the door so I have that to fix ! ( BIG HAMMER)

You people make me sick with your easily fitting A panels.

Hahaha looks good dude.

[ryan22_lgm]

They aren't that easy! Gen panels don't like to match up with nongen! Just takes time cheers mate! More updates later!

[ryan22_lgm]

Done some more work today ! Welded a repair panel into the corner of the d/s inner wing
Clamped in place

Tacked in clamps removed

Welded and another piece made to fit the front edge and welded in

Ground down with the flap disc both sides

Good coat of zinc 182


Also finished a custom xbox controller for my bro

I am going to try to get the d/s inner a panel on tomorrow so I can get the scuttle on!

[ryan22_lgm]

Did some more work to the p/s inner wing tonight first I took the shock mount off cleaned it all up and cut out the pitted top layer and made a section to fit the gap

Then I welded it in! My welding s a lot better because my dad fixed my auto darkening welding mask! So now I can see what I'm doing rather than looking away!

Ground off and painted this section!

Ground all the inner a panel welds

Painted up this area!

That is all !

[ryan22_lgm]

Started on the d/s tonight took shock mount off and cut all the pitted top layer off. Cleaned up the inner layer and made a piece to fit in will weld that in tomorrow!

so glad this little van is getting the love it always deserved. getting more excited with each update!

[SAL 821X]

Mate have you welded the outer A panel on yet?????

Wondered if you haven't would you be able to take me a picture face on of the inner A panel. The door frame edge on mine where it sit up next to the A panel is butchered on mine and I could do with seeing what its meant to look like.

If that makes sense? haha.
