forgot to take the rest of the pics before it got dark , but here are a couple of shots of the repair to the speaker hole in the r/h/s of the parcel shelf
first weld and grind
and the a bit of seam sealer to finish it off
bit of a boring update but it is moving along

then attacked the rear panel where it once had a trailer plug screwed to it.
before....................
and after welding the holes and pulling the dent out.....................
then moved on to the drivers sill area that had a bow in it and was obviously bogged up, took to it with the sander and this is what I found...........
so out with the nail welder and puller once more ....................
clean those off..............
and add a few more to pull the line back out to where it should be.............
piece off cake
I'll be doing a little bit more to the sill before it gets a skim of filler

stuck the camera inside the hole to see whast it was like inside the guard, it was nicely lined in the bottom with a layer of leaves and dirt , cleaned all that out and this is what was left, the pic make it look worse than it really was , it was only minor surface rust which came up clean with a rub with the wire brush, the surface was then "treated" and given a coat of body deadener
then line up the flute panel and tack it in and re-check the positioning of the flutes
it is now fully welded in (as is the other side), I'll take a couple of pics of that tonight , once the new batteries for the camera get here

welding wire is much cheaper

passenger guard has a couple of things I had to do before fitting its flute , seems the trim holes along the passenger guard where not welded up, they had been tapped down and filled over with bog , out with the grinder again and weld up the holes and shrink the panel back out into shape...........

Ok, I better go pick up my LC 2door body and give you the battery tray before I take to the front with the axe.

still need to put filler on the rear beaver repair but it wont need much now its cleaned up now and has had the pull nail removed...................
also found an old repair near the left hand tail light that wasn't right and had too much filler in it anyway
so I took to it with the sander, then a hammer and dolly
this is the pic of the rust repair that was needed in the rear window frame
its getting there

had a minor hiccup that I wont go into that cost a few hours to fix
and now mother nature has stepped in and turned on the water works so it will have to wait a day or two until it dries off a bit around here
been playing in the boot instead
here's a couple of pics of the "home made" bathurst tank that the car already had in it when I got it
so what colour should I paint the tank?
black,
matt silver,
or just do it the same as the rest of the boot area (warrigul black) which there are traces of in the pics around the boot space as you can see.
