thanks
one down, three to go. today this door is finished, both corners were made and welded in. the bottom skins in between are now welded together along with the lower half of the rear edge (both) where the door was too big so was ground to the marks we'd made. he's not dropped off any more epoxy primer so i sniffed some rattle can primer on for now. there looks to be a thick skim of filler over at least the bottom half of this door so it'll get stripped back anyway so....

Lovely job Neil.

it's been a while but we're back at it again. next door is a rear one so as well as the rust repairs it needs a new return inside where it was cut back to fit the new rear arch. today went well and the inner is all done, along with stripping the filler and paint from the bottom outer skin to see what needs replacing there.

Another quality repair Neil.

that's another door done, 2 left. we're hoping to get them sorted for the weekend to see the back of this project. shouldn't be a problem, fingers crossed.

Looking good! How long in each door? Would have taken me a month of Sundays (each!)! Too many teabreaks, and I'm slow!

Bumper sticker - This is an historic vehicle and only has three speeds....... if you don't like this one you sure as hell won't like the others.
the fronts were both worse than the rears, they were about 5-6 hrs a piece. rears were both 3-4 hours.

that's it Tim, i've been told there's some jobs on the house we 'have' to get done before any more car stuff. then it'll be swap all the mk7 front end onto my mk6 transit before the winter as it won't fit in the garage. then the camper stuff can be done if the weather's bad as it'll be inside the van.
oh, and the minor v8 that needs some welding too. my car will get done....... one day
no rest for the wicked.
neil.
One day...

Minor V8 sounds interesting.
I look forward to seeing that one on here!
I may live in East London, I may have a number plate that reads "Chopt",
but I do NOT use 6" wheel spacers!
just waiting to hear back mate.

ok, i heard. it's now here in the garage waiting it's checkup and health assessment. there's some proper awkward to get to repairs needed as well as some previous repairs that'll probably need re-doing. also some extra body mounts needed. not as bad as the zephyr though, although that's not hard
.
pics tomorrow once we get out there and take them.
neil.
some pics of the minor we took today. it has lots of bits that need fiddly repairs along with some old repairs that could be better. more investigating to come.
neil.
Mmm, looks nice
