Will do.

Thanks buddy came out so much better than I first expected !! The reason behind me changing the rear quarter instead of repair is when I first got the van this side was pushed in like the picture below managed to push them back out but was still badly warped. And would have taken a fair bit of filler to smooth out. As I want as little filler as possible was better to replace and was rusty so was easy to replace them then try repair and straighten out. This quarter was from m-machine and fitted near perfect just needed a little fettle but nothing major.

Thanks will be updates the weekend.

Last night done a little more welding on the quarter but taking my time don't want any warping.

Had the replace the rad in my red mini as was badly leaking. So whilst the grill was off I couldn't resist fitting it to the van lol

New rad for the red mini with a new-ish housing painted this years ago and never got round to fitting a little Scratched but still looks better than the one that came off

I then refitted the old girls black and silver plated

Got the rear quarter all welded apart from the very bottom edge at the rear as I need to cut out under the light and make a repair section. There's a repair section someone done years ago still solid but not happy with it so out it comes. Will do that tomorrow as well as make a repair section for the other passenger side rear quarter.

All ground down and primered still needs a good hammer and dolly to get 100% striaght.

Here's a pic of the weld ground down would never know its been welded !!
