Wheel arch in, door fitting well, loads of other bits . finishing touches really like - inner wheel arch carpet groove salvaged from dazzers then welded into garys!!

Garys done nice work here - salvaging plates etc.

69 Rebirth

Garts new 68 door...............its got more patina than Darrens....its also got a bent hinge which has really pissed him off!! Fits nice thought!!

A good days work. Just a B pillar and outer and inner front wheel arch repair!!!

Compared with the first picture of the day, wow!!!

Door slide lovely with grinding the welds.

Good burn through on the mig.

Notice the inner sill repair plate.

All welded.

Cleaned and zinked and notice that the c post is repaired

What a rude sight for a saturday morning!!!

Ben was busy shaping the new repair section, cut from a new wheel arch. I was cleaning up the underside and getting it covered in zinc primer.....

Offering up the new section looked good, and with sum gentle tapping here and there, it fitted a treat...

Door back on for the first time in a couple of years ;)

Inside it was a bit tricky welding through the inner arch to the bumper mounts, but it was good and strong - welder on max!

Bit of fiber glass filler to flatten the step to make it drain properly and look like an original...

Garry was busy getting his bushes replace on the rear and using a slide hammer to try and straigten the A piller and front clip... Bit of welding and grinding to make up for the bitch work ;)

So next week, Ben will be doing the sill and B pillar repair, then it's just the rear lower arch repair and the sliding door can be put back on!

This time next year........
