Engine hatch trial fit and setting the location...



Stripping paint and getting some primer on the right side inner...





Fixing up a hole which was hacked above the fuel tank...




Finishing off the details on the ribs to make them look the part...




Still some finishing to do but basically have it buttoned up, just the hinge carriers to dress up and weld on...



Damaged section cut out and repaired...

More trial fitting for the long side panel. Unfortunately this panel was around 4-5mm too long and was hitting on the door and over hanging the B pillar. This required a slice cut out to bring it back in line with the B pillar....





While the long side was clamped and screwed in place, I took the opportunity to fit and finish of the B pillar close out...

The next step will be to removed and prepare the long side for final fitment...

Long side is now installed. These pics show the install and the finished and cured panel.

Roughed the metal and then taped up the areas where the panel adhesive will be put on..primed and then painted...





Painted the sections that will be behind the panel and wont be able to be painted down the track...



Caulking and spreading the 3M panel adhesive...





Once the glue was dry I got all of the welding completed... Just need to sand off the excess glue and I will be getting this panel in primer.

Right side battery tray required some slight adjustments...




Now in and fitting much better...

The left side was much the same as the right, rear corner rusted out and beat up and full of bog. Vents were bent, twisted and split. Off it comes...





The front section of the left wheel arch was hacked open and was caved in. Photo doesn't show it very well. Was lucky enough to get an original section to repair this... Still needs to be finished off and the lower section repairing but much better
