    Rear Panel Repair - Cont

    The rear panel support has been removed from the new rear panel





    And the support from the donor car cut out - to be fitted onto the new rear panel

      The original bracket is a much better job than the one from the pattern part - it has tabs to secure it to the boot floor - which were missing from the pattern part.

              Dash Replacement

              The old dash has been removed from the shell



              And the replacement dash from the donor has also been removed







              The replacement dash is now off to be media blasted - and then needs a small repair before fitting.

                Helluva job

                Mate,
                You must be very keen or shells are like hens teeth to put so much metal back into a car. Most people would have sent that to the scrapman. Great workmanship. Len

                    Work continued on the replacement dash



                    The drivers side A pillar is slightly in the wrong position so a porta power is used to 'push it to the correct place.



                    With adjustments made the replacement dash is test fitted

                      Drivers Side A-pillar repair

                      The A-pillar is made up of three parts.



                      Inner Door Jamb - number 5



                      Door Hinge Panel - number 3



                      These panels sandwich the A pillar (number 9) which has the door hinges and door check strap attached to it.



                      Because of previous repairs the inner panel is pretty knackered - this panel is not available to buy - so a new one is fabricated.
