Welded the crossmember on today. Got measurements from my old floor. Took a lot of persuasion to get it to fit properly! Me standing on it And a jack under the bracing at one point!


Then I found allot more Rot.......

So tonight I measured and cut out a closing panel for the inner sill. Took my time to get it perfect and will be copying this for the other side.

Here it is cleaned up also sorted the peice missing from the b post.

Also ground down some of the bits in the front footwell

Up next is the crossmember welds to grind down!

[ryan22_lgm]

Ground most of the welds down on the inside today just some seam welding along the back needed when I get some more gas. Also removed rest of bracing.


I have given the areas done a coat of zinc primer just so I know what's done and what isn't !
Sorted the other inner sill closer too.

Hope I'm not boring you all to death XD it's gone like a graveyard !

Thanks mate :) yeah seat and bins are gone now as I'm having full cage and solid mounted buckets! No need for rear seats :)

Right tryed to fold some rear quarter window repair panels and failed big time so I'm going to do it in 3 pieces now
This was the jig

So I scrapped that and got the waist rail lined up and ready to fit but my gas ran out!!!!

Made some progress with the quarter window tonight. It's very tricky to make the corners perfect but it's getting there.

Going to finish it tomorrow then start on the d/s hopefully that's not as bad ! XD

[ryan22_lgm]

Tryed on the new refurbed drivers door today. Gaps need fettling a bit but should be ok considering this side had a new A post !

So I will get this side all sorted and fit the A panel this week hopefully

[ryan22_lgm]

So tonight I finished the p/s quarter window as it was bugging me being half done !

So this made me think is the other side as bad or even worse ? Gave it a wire wheel off and was very pleased ! It's not been welded up before and much less work to do :)

So before I went inside I got the stupid fake filler neck hole welded up.

Done some more work on the door/ a panel today. Ready to weld the a panel on once I get hold of some panel bond to put between the two skins.

I'm not trying to get perfect concours gaps on this car but decent size gaps non the less!!!! :)

[ryan22_lgm]

Welded the a panel on today used panel bond between the two skins to make it extra strong :)

Put the door on and the gaps are good but door still sits slightly proud of the a panel so I need to file the Hinge holes out more.
