Thanks Pete - how's the corsair going?

After getting the drivers side in epoxy I pulled her out of the garage and surprisingly managed to turn it around in what felt like 1 million turns!

I've started from the back moving forward doing welding repairs and bare metal work.

I found these bits at the sill to arch under where the door is

curse word! More chopping!

This was the epoxy primed then I made the top piece in 2 parts that I didn't photograph but who cares when it looks like this!

Whilst I was there I found a large nugget of filler where the original sill met the replacement and I think they couldn't quite patch it so I thought I'd put a patch on there and reduce the need for filler.

It'll get a bit more grinding back and then I'll try leading it.

The head lines is nearly out - it's been worked in whilst stuff dried off or cooled down! I'll get some photos when it's out

Car looks great, interior looks really sharp.
