So after a few hours over the last few days I managed to make a new lower panel and got the fitment just about where I needed it to be

It's tacked in place

Over the next few hours today I dropped more and more tacks on which was ideal in 20 degree heat in the garage and wearing overalls!

Whilst crimping the panel I put a few small dents in which can be skimmed and it'll never be seen again!

I love started to grind back the welds and hopefully I should get it back on this week!

I've not ground the welds back totally - I thought I'd check the gaps etc, I think it looks ok but I need to do some further checks and panel fitting

I then had the problem of cleaning up all sorts of chap

Onwards....

3 door conversions are easy!

Back on with the grind, cut, weld

Then I was reminded that i married the right woman! I got this with no promoting too!

The damage is interesting in this as one side is invisible and the other was but had been filled with weld which was a huge pain in the  to get off as both the skin and inner we're sort of glued together!

Inside looked even worse!
