The sill isn't fully welded as I still have to do a bit to the inner wing/sill end.

Cookie went home and I carried on welding, so I welded the back of the plates I had put in around the front inner wing and sill.

Wire wheeled it down and gave it some etch primer.

Once all the welding is done I intend to do the hole car, inside and out.
Welded up the lock hole.

I thought this looked clean at Billing this year if I'm thinking of the right car, excellent fab skills though
Thank you Graeme, yeah she looked nice for billing, even got a little shot Total Vauxhall. I new the chassis legs wanted doing and the arches wern't the best but I didnt think it was anywhere near as bad as this. Never mind though as I am enjoying doing it :)
looking good :) what's left then?
I recognise that gear knob too lol
More good work fella, where the **** do you get the time to do all this lol
Lewis. well it wants the o/s inner rear arch sinishing, the the O/s reaar arch fitting, A back panel, N/s sill, N/s/ rear Inner arch and outer. N/s/f inner arch, torret top wants cleaning up as its been plated badly. Front cross memember finshing, both front chassis legs and floor. then wiring wheeling, Zinc primeing the hole car, sealing, painting.. There is about 40hr of welding left yet lmao.
Well Kev, I have decided to dtay single until the build is complete! lmao
Thanks guys
