further rot is cut from the inner wing section..

so into the hole we weld a cut from a later car.. the section in question is common to 1989, with a little bit of back dating, principally around the petrol filler hole , extra 'ribs' are removed.

removal of out kidney reveals yet another hole... which needs to be cut back to good metal

rebuilding the inner chassis around inner kidney , allows for more rot to be cut away

re-fabrication if rear quarter section around the outer kidneys

welding on sills was very poor, so re-welded, and painted

1968911s · Post by **1968911s** » Tue Jul 02, 2013 10:49 pm

offered up new outer sill, and welded sill and outer kidney in place

the SWB B-post is no longer available. In the absence of a donor car I decided to have a new panel backdated.

"following a little fitting" I like that massive understatement of the hours you have put into this!

Good stuff
