Took me about a day to fit mine, YRM metal is cheap
I,ve got the panels bought from Paddocks, looks to me like the wings have to come off, doors also so the hinge comes off and the bonnet.
Is that the case??. The last big bit of welding i did was the rear cross member and am hopeing its not going to be a drama like that job!!.
Seems odd that there's no walk through picture wise like most other work that's been done.

I didn't take the wings off, well I had one off but that was because of something else. Other one was on still and it was fine, plus re0fitting a wing is a pain in the arse.
Check my rebuild thread you can see what needs to be hacked off and where they go back, it's **** easy really just a bit of a pain to do
And there will be a walkthrough somewhere

Probably because until you start to have a look at whats required every repair will be different.

Indeed, mine required replacing the entire top half of the bulkhead.
Whereas someone else may only require cutting and replacing the top half of the corner

Arc,
That's a briiliant walkthrough job done nice one. The only problem is my 110 is a daily hack so only got the weekend to do the job. The bulkheads shagged and have patched it up in other places with plate.
The panels fit just in line with the very top of the wing and it looks like unless I cut out the metal from the dash side (Without taking the wing off) all I'll be able to do is slide the panel in and then weld what I can see above. Then blob car sealer round any gaps.
Just a ball ache falling apart just as the weather changes!.

i have done one side, but i still havent done the drivers side, so i still have wet feet..
i just tot the repair patch and cut the bulkhead to fit the patch to get the most out of the new metal. however i would cut the bottom inch or so off as it was a ball ache around the lip thing that the bonnet hooks onto..

I have just patched with some YRM panels.. what concerns me is they seem very thin to hold the door hinge on. I may put some backing behind.. its so difficult to tell what was there originally as it looks like the main bulkhead edge came all the way up and the patch panel replacing this (i.e top hinge element) is just not the same strength.

its the same 1.2mm steel although you can always try to bulk it up behind but I'd just leave it. Although its 1.2 it's in tension to an extent so fairly strong
