Body rolled using a single bed mattress and a few tyres.
One heater channel (top) is sound other than side repairs to sill and rear closing panel, the other is shot.
Rear underside of body is solid but bitten in a few places.
Cut out and cleaned.
Make new repairs from 1.2 gauge.
Salvaged a plate from the other closure panel and made good, cant see where it joins.
Just the rear edge of the upper panel is rotten so again make a repair panel from sheet and jobs looking sound.
Drilled and rear welded a nut for the side rail again all these details have been missing since the 1980s!!
Trying to resolve the dilemma of running with tatty dented wings as I have all of them, coat of primer a top coat then hammer and scratch then polish done for lacquering???? Or just buy some new wings the ones I have are not originals.......mmmmm.
Front wheel arh inner on this side is complete original and clean, with only a simple repair to the very lower edge.
Rear cross members are all clean.
