Well the car is back right way up.`A`frame removed and garage tidied up. Next jobs the internal rust removal. Fit the newish rear bulkhead and parcel shelf,repair the rotten ends of the dash rail if I cant source a replacement and paint whole internal. I`m happy to do all the painting except the outer I think. So anyone got a dash rail 
will try and put a pic up tomorrow.

I etch primed, panel sealed, stone chip/primer x2 and then Hammerite shutz x2. I will probably have to redo some spots especially in front wheel arches as I need some more touches of welding doing internally. Own fault I should have double double checked before sealing. But hey ho we live and learn and another weekend beckons. Just hope I dont have to go to work too much but things are getting busy on the coal face.

all scraped clean with old seal hacked out behind the dash. Repaired end to lower dash rail. etch primed new seal in joints from scuttle to foot well. Getting the height right between top and bottom rails was a bit awkward with only two hands but lots of bits of wood masking tape and contortionism got it all welded up.
