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........

  1. some awsome looking work going on here ben, very very impresive, some of the repairs that ur taking on are very brave but yet seem to persistantly turn out like factory.
