So as we left off with the front door we'll be carrying on from there getting slightly further but not by much!

So are bare metalled the holes were far worse than anticipated

But I slowly managed to piece this corner back together again

The other side was much worse - it's taken all sorts of trial pieces etc to replace this

With this

I'm happy with the result - the final piece was the centre part which was too big and too thin to fill with weld!

I've have tried to start making the outer skin today but made a mess of the bend so it's pulled the part down 2mm so the gap is too wide which is a shame but I'll use some of that steel else where!

I'Ll hopefully have this done soon but I'm not sure how it'll look and if it's going to be correct

Car looks great, interior looks really sharp.
