More STEADY progress lol
Only one way to get these quarters looking straight!

That's the second skim shouldn't be far away after another good going at with the long block:

Cracking on!
American hot rod style shape up :-)
If you leave it long enough to rest you shouldnt have any sinkage problems.
I left my shell for 4-6 weeks in high build primer before flat & paint
Still looks like it was painted yesterday 8 years later.

Plan on bodging the quarters and roof, high building them up and leaving for a few weeks to sink. I believe it's the primer that sinks into the filler and not the actual filler sinking. Il paint the inside and concentrate on the doors etc while the quarters are sinking if that makes sense

Taking shape

blowing me out of the water here mate! looking amazing!!

Not much of an update as I've been very busy At work but did manage to shape the quarter up a bit more, mainly just need to dolly the high bits up now and then skin over with the some nice fine filler, hard work blasting the bodge down with the long block by hand but should look nice and straight by the end. Getting the sewage lines right is hard work for an electrician as far as I'm concerned!

Sewage lines lol........swage lines that should say

[HarrierTony]

Coming on nicely mate, you dont want any sewage in there , but im sure you will get the swage spot on

Mated to get a couple of hours in this afternoon after work, got that shitey sill off the driver side I wasn't happy with then got the new one fitted, really need some more time on the car it's frustrating me now how long its taking.

Hopefully be on the road before I retire lol

bit more time tonight, couldnt be bothered grinding welds up on sill so made a start on seam sealing everything before the spray on rubber sealer gets applied.

Mainly just the sill bottom to seal now and around the rear tubs then i get fit the wings up, weld them on and spray sealer and paint the full underside and engine bay

[HarrierTony]

Top job as always mate, keep at it. I plug welded my sills from the inside.
