[Shifty]

I'm at the point where I'm nearly thinking about getting back in the garage!!

 

(nice work though!!)

[minimuk]

today, both radious arms done and new cylinders in, stone cipped the underside of the bootfloor and started on the lower arch repair.

 

 

underside boot floor

 

 I sanded back the arch repair, what a mess the white powder makes, on the bottom corner is a rusty hole, thats not all but a piece of panel is wedged on the inside and then someone had the bight idea to fill the hole from the outside, what a waste of time.....ohh yes and I found an arch rivet hidden behind the plaster with a rusty surround,.........this repair will be a slight set back of 1 day
