wee bit of work there mate, its great isnt it, I only found a small patch how wrong was I

Brian

good luck lets see it getting finished :cheers:

[Mr Hoarder]

The usual places unfortunately.

I've just done the same on a MK2 1600 L 4 door (don't laugh).

The bulk head side and wing wounting rail cost £22 the pair from my local motorspares shop (he ordered them from AMP panels - they are Hadrian distributors)
I made the floor repair and A post repair panels myself.

Fortunately the o/s wing was brazed on so it popped off nicely with a bit of heat, and got welded back on once the other bits were done.

The welding and fabricating took about 6 hours all together, over a couple of weekends.

Good luck with yours, it's not too bad once you get stuck in :thumbup:

[Chesney]

been there mate, it's a little disheartening but once you get some new metal in it all looks better!! How far u going with it??

[scooby]

:alien: RSmeister i think when you go to these extremes, its a case of in for a penny in for a pound :compress: i`ll just keep removing the bad bits :drunken: and replace as neccesary :geek: :geek:
if a jobs worth doing do it right :cheers: :cheers:
