Looking better all the time, just make sure you do not weld too close (and too soon)to any seam sealer before it's finished curing and ceases giving any vapour off so that it doesn't ignite in a flashback Like my son in law got (mind you he was in an enclosed area)

Yes i had an huge flashback the other day cought my hand

Done the door bin

Dad messing about with the camara

Front lip looks like its going to be fun

Got my new door cards


And i also got some angel headlights


And some body work

You're on quite a roll there. Keep it up, soon be finished at this rate!

Its starting to get dark now

Ill soon be of the body work that makes the car look good. (well look good im going to keep it ratty)

Huh? I thought I understood English, but maybe not. Perhaps you oughtn't be welding while you're on medication.

My door got the chop for more metal





Undeseald some of the floor

Few the door stayed on while i sorted out the door step panel


It took me 6 hours to get it right. All i need to do now is weled it in

That looks very risky. When you have to cut so much metal away, it's normal to temporarily weld in a strengthening bar to keep the door aperture from deforming. I was a bit nervous about it when I did my clubman saloon, and I didn't have to cut away the whole step.

Just noticed the welder though - is that a plain old stick welder? That's got to be hard work on a car body - I can do it, but it's difficult. Treat yourself and your car to a mig! Much better weld quality for thin metal.

I had an mig but it alway looked like bird poo so i got back to useing arc

Well this is what i done today




Chrome still good


Look at that filler




There serpose to be holes there

looks so like rusty a while back! keep at it - you're catching me up!

Work starts soon

Took that plate off were the shock mounts goes



And my new retrimed seats

Seats look really nice. That puts the pressure on you to make a good job of everything else to make a good job

Keep it up!

I want to get these seats for the front but without the head rest
