The rear panel and d/s quarter are on their final skims so I stripped back the p/s quarter and gave that a coat today !

Going to get some more welding gas in the week so I can finish all the little bits of welding

Thought I would blow the dust off this !!!! Spent allot of money at bingley for this project and haven't really touched it for a while. But past few nights I have been out doing a few bits starting with stripping the old rear subby as I need the radius arms for my new one!
DC37D997-C051-4F80-90F0-D3E9EC816AE8_zps
This also made it easy for me to bolt it back up to the car to drill the rear mount holes....... Well that didn't work!!! I quickly realised the valence closers were welded to far forward.

5EC8CC84-1D06-4E92-8AD0-60EDF568D7BD_zps
To sort this out I have cut 2 slots in both closers and tapped them back. Haven't welded yet as it was getting late!
673FBA4C-C8CD-4EC7-A7B5-6E87BF9221C7_zps
Will get them welded sometime this week then drill the holes so the arch to boot floor stifiners can be welded in to complete welding to the rear.
