not got much got done yesterday...took ages trying to beat out the dents in the rear corner before i could get the repair panel in..happyish with it..a light fill and some paint over it and i'll be a lot happier   

have to say the dent above the repair isn't as bad as it looks in the photo..honest  

ok now a question for you all..at some time in vanny's life some though it was a good idea to cut out the rear side panels so my question is getting some sheet metal and replacing them,good idea or stay well clear ?
I know i'll have to watch the heat and distortion but with my slow welding speed and plenty of tea breaks is it possible ?

tried to make the most of my day off (back to work tomorrow) got lots of grinding and cleaning up done..really must learn to finish one panel fully before i start the next one...but wheres the fun in that so when i got bored of grinding thought i'd fit the A pan...little bit of messing about to get it all lined up right..to be honest took me longer to find the hinges for it...took the scuttle infill off for now i'll fit it when the new scuttle repair on..anyway Apan's on and given a good coating of zinc till i get everything done ready for spraying..





Happy Easter everyone
