Day 2 update:

picked up some supplies yesterday to keep us going till next week and we cracked on with the work again last night, this is how we got on

the plan for lastnights work was to finish up the filler work on the drivers side and get it in primer so thats what i got stuck into, below you will see it all sanded down and masked up for the primer to go on






after a good clean with panel wipe and a good tacking i started putting down the 1st of 4 coats of high build primer and when all done this is how she looked







while i was at this Eric was working away on the far side on the rusty sill, a few months ago we where going to sort out a bit of rust on the wheel arch just to get it through the NCT then re do it properly when i was doing the respray, here the small bit we wanted to do




we striped off the side skirt so we would not damage it when welding only to find this



at some time in it's life the car got a new 1/4 panel and who ever put it on never sealed it up and it leaked and just rotted away right on the weld line, when we seen this we straight away said this is going to need a new sill section, we welded in a few bit of sheet metal just for a bit of strength untill we got all the parts needed to do it right, so with a bit of welding and filler we left it this way untill now







the 1st thing to do now was take the rear door off and get cutting and drill out all the spot welds










with all the cutting and drilling the section just more or less fell off






this is where we gave up as it was getting late, as you can see the rot has gone in a good bit so we will be doing the inner section now as well as the outer section to tonight should see all the rot gone and the new bits tacked it and lined up ready for welding
