What's the plan man? The front looks busy. At least everything is trial fitted to see what looks good 😄

I wonder if the louvres would look sweet in a slightly lighter colour? If you pain them separately in undercoat, can you pls post up a pic of what that looks like. Doesn't matter about the colour.

Wow, there's a bit more than what it first looks once the sand blaster gets going. How are you going to rebuild the lip?

spot weld two strips together and cut a slot and tack weld it in and go from there. The car sat out side for two years coastal environment .I threatened the owner that i would take it of him .He put it into his shed the day before i went around there to pick it up.

I had an idea. There's a new welding wire called "aluma-steel welding rod". I thought of doing some high corrosive areas using aluminium instead of steel in the repair.
