    oh and a new inner rear panel aswell along with a shed load of other little bits here and there

    i am currently trying to save the original chasis number stamped plate in engine bay.

    my basic list of weling left to do is
    -drivers rear arch
    -inner and centre sills on drivers side
    -a few top hat repairs
    -all the jacking points and outriggers
    -sliding door repairs (around window seal area)
    -and to weld loads of old screw holes up inside

    then get some filler on the go and start prepping it all.

    i will try to get some more pics up soon when i can find them all ::)

    thanks for looking, steve. ;)
