Thanks HEAPS EVERYONE for their comments - it's really appreciated. I'm glad you guys are enjoying the rebuild.

It's about time for another update. Late last year I dropped off the doors, bonnet, tailgates, visor and other bits n pieces to Dave. You might remember back on page 18 some patches were welded onto the doors. Luis' preference was to re-skin them and do it properly but I convinced him it'd be OK. Guess what...it wasn't. Lesson - listen to the blokes who know what they are talking about...

Dave had a look at the doors and said...they need to be reskinned...just the bottom sections...so Dave got busy...

Then Dave got busy on the body work in December...

Dave re-hung all the doors to test-fit and check the gaps. The gaps on the front doors were pretty good but the rear doors were a real pain and needed some extra encourage...lots of swearing, cussing, sweat and the mig...

Next we broke open a can of body filler. This was a new experience for me...nothing like getting down and dirty sanding back some bog...it gets in everywhere

Dave had a wonderful time...

I think he was just smiling for the camera...

Unfortunately we found a nice 'dip' in the roof either side of the roof support - probably caused from being blasted. Dave cut the roof support out so the worst of it could be beaten back into shape. He bashed and I held the dolly under the roof

Then he welded it back in...

Once it had stopped 'snowing' in the garage it was time to get some primer on...

Gotta love watching paint go on even if it's primer...

Looking good mate, bet you're hanging to see the paint go on (I know I am

)!
