Hi all,

It's been a while in the making and preparation...

As an aside, I will also post in 'Parts Wanted' as I am after a spare wheel well.

Some progress shots (note the dates!)

The find (by someone else) and transfer to me:

Yes, it's a little like... 'but wait, there's more'.

Some updates..... Photos are from a few months ago.

Another year has passed, another set of club badges and stickers.... 

Have recently secured the rear window area thanks to 'wrangler'.

Looking good so far, I can only hope that mine has'nt got the same amount of cancer when I get it blasted. Early indications are looking fairly good, though my sills are a lot worse than yours lucky I knew when I got the car so I got a pair of full sills from rares I'll have to get inner panels I think. Put some pics of the back when it's done I would like to see how they repaird the rear screen area.
All the best, Jim
