Well thats 12 months gone..... Will post some pics in the next couple of days. Been working on the boot area, couple more hours and that will all be stripped and have a coat of primer on. Then the shell will be fully stripped and a thin coat of primer on. Then back to the welding.

Here are one or two pics to keep you going.

[andym]

Thanks for that.. Just a few more pictures. Didn't get that much done on the RS, my freelander broke down on friday night so ended up doing that most of the weekend.



Now the hole as gone.....





Not bad. Both need a bit more work, when it comes to the bodywork prep. Hopefully the new inner sill and inner tank well will be here this week.
To all the other doing their cars up, Keeping going lads...The nice weather will be here soon...

just been through this thread from the start, nice work there andy, coming along nicely, any detailed pics of your repairs around the heater bowl? i cant imagine that would be an easy place to fix

[andym]

Hi Lee. Can take some more pic's if you need some. It did take time to shape the metal...started with thin card to get the shape and then moved to metal..the bit thats was cut out changed shape.. That was just a ruff hole to start with then cut out more to find/ get the best place to weld/bend. Glad you enjoyed the thread.
Thanks.
