Today we made some adjustments to the seat/floor panel by clamping it up by the wheel arch so that there was a tight fit, We also joggled the edge.

We then set about making the end of the heelboard.

Nice repairs Alex, you must be pleased. Have you been looking through the fellas thread below to help make the repair panel??

Muk referenced it in his thread I think and great tech on panel making but looks like you are on the way to being a good panel maker.

Yeah, The metal folder is good, we clamp two piece's of metal in the vice :highfive: .


We didn't get to weld it up as we were doing other things and we had to replace lulu85ritz's front driver's side bearing's, so I should be doing it tomorrow.

I did buy this tonight though.
