Today I cleaned up all the edges of the pannels on the car and shaped them so they sit flush with the new pannel which is now clamped securely in place ready for welding in

It was a bit of a mind numbing task but worth it to make sure the pannel fits as it should
Anyway heres the pics >>


the pannel clamped in place



Thats it for today

Small update, rear discs have been painted up now not the best pics of them as it was getting dark at the time



Also got two new covers for the car one decent thick under sheet and also a waterproof cover for over the top of that, fits very well and looks tidier that the old one that had been on a year and was getting a bit battered and ripped



Thats it for now, got a few things planned for the next few days for the car
