    A little more trial fitting and fiddling around with the cargo doors to make sure I’m happy with the fit of the door skin. With the skin dry fitted I could then cut away the bottom of the inner frame which was in dire need of replacement.

    I’ll get the cargo door frames repaired and will revisit the door skins at a later stage, at this point I’m just making sure I’m happy with the cargo door aperture.

    I couldn’t resist getting a picture of the bulkhead very loosely fitted to the split project over the weekend! We’re fortunate that panels like this are so readily available and the fit looks really good.

    I’ve also got the 2nd cargo door inner all ready to weld in so next weekend I can get both door inners fully welded in.

    My current plan is to get the bulkhead prepped and then get some epoxy on it and all the chassis/cargo floor repairs that I’ve done.

    After a lot of trial fitting and adjustment I’ve now welded in both cargo door inner frame lower repairs.

    Prior to welding I got the short panel pinned into position to give me a good reference for the cargo doors and clamped the outer sill on so I know I’ll be happy enough with the door gaps.
