a few jobs done today,...fabricating rear bulkhead bottum repair panel and offside rear bin,all needs doing before the bootfloor and healboard if offered....not easy having to lay on the garage floor most of the time and fetling with the rear bin bits,......
first the bulkhead repair panels:
used old MUK's panel
cut outs from template and cleaned up
18mmlip folded and corners seam welded
all zinc primed
rear bin repair;
Bit more MUK's door pieces
fetling with first piece
offered top piece to be welded to new arch
will tack weld the rear bin bits tmr,I will seamweld it when the floors are coming out....
on second thought's after dinner, I went back in the garage,stripped all the fabrications of the zinc primer and opened the pot of Por15, keep forgetting that stuff,... gave them all a god coat, no rust there anymore after.

however,clamping the heal-panel in postion, I done some measuring,...inner heal-board to cross-member should be 810mm, the top of the heal-board is correct, but the bottum(where the floorpanel marries the heal-board) it measures 813mm so this needs seeing to tmr

so the story of the rear bin continiues, after havin a go with the welder laying down on the garage floor burning myself a few times I seam welded between the tack and sanded it back, made a cut into the end bit of the panel and crimped the cut to an even top and bottum 810mm to crossmember.
cleaned all the paint of and after work tonight (22.45) gave it all a Por15 coat, inside and out and the B-post while I was at it,......
after seamweld and sanding back
after a nice coat of Por15
Starting on the nearside bin tomorrow........
