Today's update........and Blimey was it ever cold !!.....two day's now working in this temperature and I think the cold has got into my bones now Smile

I didn't get as much done as I wanted too ....as the heater channel
that I had prepared (rust proofed) for fitting turned out to be for the other side lol!

....

Also I found sooooo many plates around the rear closing panel for the heater channels ....it took me best part of the morning just cutting them out ....ready for some new metal Cool

.....in fact there were about 5 layers of metal plates ....plus a 1/4 inch of filler on the rear quarters ...it must have been about 2 inches wider than stock!! Shocked

anyway here's the pic's

firstly I finished welding in the new inner wing ...however I need to cut and re-position the bottom section as it doesn't meet the vertical gutter like it should ..

Then I drilled out the spot welds on the heater channel

and then rust proofed the inside of it

then I set too on the rear section

then I had to make a simple repair panel...(which didn't fit lol!

)

then I measured the door gap ...and tacked in the heater channel

And tomorrow I will be taking it off again ...cos I forgot to put the flexible heating tube on lol!
