Jessopia74 Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Nice patching. Does not look bad in there over all. Have you had a quick peek under the front screen rubber at the top of the A post? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaunwilli Posted October 6, 2019 Author Share Posted October 6, 2019 No not as yet the plan is to do all the lower welding first to try and get the car to mot condition.The top of the A post and screen area have had work in the past and there seems to be filler in these areas but i will tackle these at a later date when i have to probably fit a new roof skin. Thanks Ian i am going to need it.This work eats up the hours fair play.Really am in ore of some of the projects on the site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver coupe was in pretty excellent condition, and has pretty much taken me 30hours fir just what was necessary on the sills/swan necks. 2weeks overall with the restoration upgrades to the suspension. really looking forwards to getting Black coupe back, but I suspect it will take a few years to get all the welding done 🤪 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaunwilli Posted October 13, 2019 Author Share Posted October 13, 2019 Had a day on the inner wings.Hopefully should finish one side of the car this week and get the drivers door and wing back on.Then i will start the rear of the car.How have you dealt with the back valance to floor area.
