Quite a bit as I don't want to just jump straight it to paint even tho I could. Just little anouying things grinding and cleaning off underseal and paint that's all peeling off in the engine bay. XD plus there is the money issues! Need to get some bits for the engine, paint and a new rear subby so it's what to get first :s

I'm not really that much ahead! Getting panels on is the easy part it's the cleaning up and rubbing down that takes time you will soon be at this stage! :)

Na i understand mate, the cleaning and getting it looking right takes the time, cant wait until my van is at this stage tho..

Done a bit today on the door got the skin bolted up to check alignment

I cleaned off the edge and painted it with zinc 182 to stop the rust when the edge is hammered over.

I was going to join the two parts today but went to use my sealer and it had dryed up so got to go buy one ! Then I can use my new dolly I bought at the Nec classic car show !

Right got the skin on today! Started off with a bead of sealer around the edge of the skin

Clamped and bolted up

All hammered over without making and dents on the front face


I will weld the tops and the plug weld in a few days once the sealer has gone off !
