Nearly There

Over the last week I managed to sneak in a few hours on the car and transformed cardboard templates into sheet steel and then formed it to the correct shape, drilled it and prepped it.

With all the bends and unique qualities of this patch and probably because I tackled such a big section all in one go, it didn’t go quite to plan and I had to weld in some filler sections and then grind them flat. A lot easier to do on the workbench on teh repair piece than once it’s fitted to the car.

In the end, managed to get it all welded in place yesterday. Just need to do a couple of welds from the interior footwell.

Also welded in the wishbone reinforcement mounting brackets.

And welded up the chopped down gear box mount. Quite transformed from when it used to double up as the battery tray mounting.
