    Did a bit of fabrication today, never done anything like this before i was just learning as I went along and winging it
    I think it turned out damn good to be honest, my welds are getting alot better too I almost had some dimes stacking .
    Anyway I've done the passenger inner wing and flitch panel.
    Waiting for the drivers side one to turn up so I can sort that side out

    Impressive if that's your first attempt at making repair panels. I'd be well chuffed if I'd done that!

    I've never had a bender too, hammer and vice works for most things. Recently bought a little vice mounted 5" or so bender for little brackets and such which is quite nice.

    Yeah been meaning to invest in a vice that I can bolt to my bench.
    Might get one during the week, make it easier to bend metal rather than using edge of my bench haha

    Drivers side flitch panel turned up today, time to attack that side on Sunday and ill need to do the inner wing as that's gone like the passenger side. So more fabrication on Sunday I think
