It's been a while since my last post. As with most things, sometimes life gets in the way of a project. I have made progress however with the replacement of rust panels on the car. The boot floor was in a pretty bad way (as with most cars 50+ years old :) ). Rather than 'bog' it up (which wasn't considered), I took the time to remove the old rusted floor and side panels. Cut some serviceable boot side panels off another rear body and weld in place along with a new floor panel from Kilmartins.
It's a still a work in progress at this time, as I still need to cleanup a lot of the plug welds. One thing that a group of 5 or so photos can't show is the time that it has taken to cut shape, grind, clamp, weld, grind, paint, shape.....etc to get to a point where the panel is once again presentable. I would say that it has taken more than 15 hours to get to point. Next post to follow soon will be the finished product.
