Got the rear corners finished off and made up some rear door hinge support brackets. The door feel a lot sturdier now and I can get them lined up a bit better.

I took the van off the jig so that I could finish off a few jobs on the underside, got the lower inner wings seam welded to the floor, seam welded the load floor and fitted the load floor under bracing.

I've got the studs welded onto the underside for fastening up the brake line, battery cable and fuel lines. I did a test run on an old door skin first and snapped it off, this left a hole in the panel which prove I'm getting full penetration.
