Your welding turns me on LOL
Not really but its damn good work dude:thumb:
any chance of some welding lessons please
It's the 3mm plate, really easy to get a good weld on! lol Much easier to weld the 3mm stuff with 0.8mm wire too - I struggled loads with it burning back and sticking to the tip when using 0.6mm wire. Today I swapped to 0.8mm welding wire and used anti-spatter 'Tip-dip' and had no problems at all so could get a nice run.
Yeah Safety Devices 6pt, welded in.
Carried on with the rear quarters today.
Trimmed the quarter panel back so if I make a right mess of it I can get a new quarter and start again lol

Pillars and sill trimmed to size:

Rough fit to check panel gaps:

One thing I've noticed is when I line the B and C pillar grooves up nicely there'll be a step on the C pillar, so I guess I'll have to overcome that with some bodyfiller. Otherwise it's a good fit :(

some really good progress man. good to see you getting stuck in and doing welding and bodywork yourself
Rubbish update but the weather hasn't been too kind.
Built the back end up to check nothing is going to be majorly out of place, all seems okay:

Drilled 5mm holes around the edges of the panel to puddle weld it in to place similar to standard:

Then the weather ruined my fun so I went in the garage and rebuilt my RJ gear linkage. Wanted to move the bottom RJ placement to avoid the problems of it loosening off I've had in the past, so painted it up nice etc while I was there:

Nylon linkage bushes help reduce play quite a lot:

Painted, built up (needs a few bolts cutting down/replacing), with the plastic bit flipped round for F20:

Make me a linkage :p
lol i need to do one as well!
I was tempted to make a new one this afternoon actually but I don't have a spare std linkage. Make your own, it's dead easy!
