Some more repairs this week on the O/S. Inner repairs on C pillar completed, and small repair to outer ready to weld in: Outer ready to go on. I’ve put some paint on the inside so will get this welded in tonight. Doesn’t look too bad to me. Closing panel for O/S zinc primed. Will epoxy tonight.
All of the O/S bits are now finished, ready for the O/S panel and outer sill tomorrow. C pillar repaired. and painted (nice and blurry picture)

Today’s row of sexy plug welds for the outer sill (I’ll grind these down once I’ve finished the join to the middle panel), followed by workshop pasta cooked by Max (she came down to start prepping the N/S floor pan plug weld holes for me).
O/S side panel welded shut tonight. Took the best part of 2.5 hrs to avoid distorting the panel. I’ve started dressing the weld but it was 8:45 when I left so it’ll have to wait for tomorrow.
Welds dressed on the O/S panel tonight. It’ll need a light application of filler to get it perfect, but for my first large panel I’m pretty happy. Coated with zinc primer for now. Think I’m decided that I’ll just cover panels for now and revisit at the paint prep stage with proper epoxy primer.
make first fill on a joint 50 50 filler p40 mixed together , strong filler mix , sets like kevlar very easy to sand then 100 % filler after that
This weekend I have been mostly prepping and painting panels. First up the repair to the front of the rear wheel tub. The wheel tub isn’t in too bad condition, and I even found some fresh paint. Repair cut to size and trial fitted. Nice not to have to replace the whole thing for once. Trial fit of the N/S floor panel, starting to look more van shaped in the cargo area: And out with the spray gear: Epoxymasticated the wheel tub repair: and the floor:
