thanks for indulging me Jamie, could see there was a car under a sheet in the background.
looks like you've been busy collecting stuff too, is that Nasco lichen?
Cheers

Couldn't help myself, i was just having some fun gus, I agree with you on the quality of the work Jamie is doing, nice neat welds with plenty of penetration, keep up the pics we all enjoy seeing another car coming together.

You just beat me to that one Pedro.Thanks for the nice comments guys they are appreciated.Not much chance of me opening a panel shop Glenn,I'd need to be a fair bit quicker than I am at the moment...As I mentioned,the reason I enjoy this stuff is because it's not my job.If you did it everyday it would become a task and would probably lose interest.More soon,Cheers,Jamie.

I'll pay that one stock, very creative, is it just my eyes or does that look suspiciously like an FB/EK ute on the trailer. Pedro |

This build brings back so many memories. My FE was in similar condition. Youve really gotta wonder why we bother. But then I get to go for a drive and a play then I know why I bothered. Keep persisting, You'll get there. Cheers Scott  |

What metal are you using for the repairs Jamie, panel metal or something else?

Weddo,I have used "black steel" which is 1.6mm? for the structural parts (inner sills,crossmembers and lower parts of A pillars) and normal mild steel sheet (1.2mm) for the other small patches.Have since finished the lower rear quarter repair.More pics soon.
