Bought a rear repair panel at castle come at the weekend :) so decided to get it welded on tonight !!! Clamped it up first and tryed the bootlid on to check gaps. Marked it up and cut along the line


Bit of tapping and bending later it's welded on!

Thanks mate! Me too! Yeh she's pretty solid :) going to do a bit more welding in the morning hopefully !

[ryan22_lgm]

Done a fair bit today ! :) Cut the rest of the layered up rust out of the boot floor to see what I had left.

Plug welded the boot floor section in onto the new back panel section. Double cut and butt welded the rest so nothing's overlapping like before !


Then I sorted out he part next to the d/s arch using a modified repair panel. Had to turn the edge over as these panels are designed to bodge over the top of rust inside the boot and I don't want that !

Ground some of the welds down but then realised I need some new flap discs Tryed the valence on too!

Keep the pics coming :)

With the boot floor repair did any of the holes line up ?

The ones along the back panel did but subframe holes are going to have to be drilled in.

Oh yes! She even wants to learn to weld!!!

[James_eaton_thewholething]

Mine is the same although some of the holes need making bigger
