Weather great today, so got the cappings riveted on.
Got the new YRM wing stays bolted in to place, but I reckon it would be better to take them off again for the respray. Just a 2 min job.
The inner wheel arches were a bit corroded around where the seat belt bolts and seat bolts went through. I've already bonded aluminium plates underneath and left the tops because they are going to get covered by the metal work, but I decided to put some plates over the top too.
Before.
After.
Put some body filler in the half hole across the rear quarter panel. Seems sill to mention but, it bugs me that it ended up like that.
I cut a square of thick aluminium to rivet on the back and half drilled in to it with a large drill bit.
Hope this will create a cavity the body filler can open up in to and create a bulb of filler so it doesn't just drop out after a few months.
I've done loads of repairs on the tub and it has been hard going and frustrating but I think it's there now. Can't think of anything else to do on it except flatten the old paint down a bit more. I might flip it upside down and push some seam sealer in to all the nooks and crannies. Other than that I think it's ready to get painted, as are all the other panels. Still, the paint shop I've got lined up can't fit me in for 3 weeks or so. :frown:
