Sell it and it'll just be fixed by someone else and all your hard work will be wasted.

Chrisw8 · Jul 14, 2015

If I can do it, anyone can !

Saltlick · Jul 14, 2015

That could be a lot worse

ant.7 · Jul 17, 2015

Quick update!

Got all the panels from Froggatts in Macclesfield yesterday, great service and panels!!

Footwell all prepared with fertan ready for welding tommorow!!

Chrisw8 · Jul 17, 2015

Impressive panel

GRATCH · Jul 17, 2015

Mmmmm........impressive.......ya can tell it's a landy repair panel.....it's already got holes in it....

Saltlick · Jul 18, 2015

Now would be a bloody good time to give the inside of the sills and that body mount some fertan treatment followed by some decent paint like bonda, then Dynax ub or dinitrol...

haigy · Jul 18, 2015

I was up frogatts the other week great fella and full of great ifeas and makes the welfing job easier with his info. And panels are great quality

ant.7 · Jul 24, 2015

Quick update.

New floor panel in. Mount and sills fertaned first as suggested!
Weldings strong but not the best looking!!
Onto the bulkhead body mount tommorow!

Retrospaceman · Jul 24, 2015

I find it really reassuring that its not just my welding that looks like that

Once cleaned up and painted no one will know.

Looking good

Saltlick · Jul 24, 2015

Don't forget to seal up the panel edges with tiger seal/sikaflex or similar. I'm undecided whether it's best to paint/prime first and then seal or the other way around..

ant.7 · Jul 24, 2015

Yep got me supply of sikaflex already to go! Paint last they guy at froggets told me!!
