        • More work to the passenger side -



          Even using the wider ex-pressed steel arch - there is a gap which will need to be filled

              • To give an idea of just how bad the previous repairs were - here is the patch work quilt that made up the wheel arches!!

                        • Bulkhead Corners

                          The finish on the bulkhead corners wasn't the greatest





                          So a small skim of filler is applied

                            • Rear Scuttle Panel

                              As with most of this car - has been previously repaired badly



                              The entire rear bulkhead, parcel shelf and rear scuttle are going to be replaced with a cut from the donor car





                              Unfortunately it's not going to be as easy as just weld in the replacement panel - as the inner scuttle has some rust

                              • So the repair will involve the best parts of both panels and a new fabricated inner scuttle panel.

                                The old scuttle panel is removed



                                Exposing the inner scuttle







                                Another pile of scrap!!
