A job that’s been on Iris’ todo list for a few years finally checked off. Carpet lined ply headliner for the cab to match the rear bed boards.

It’s always satisfying seeing things starting to go into primer. O/S, bonnet, engine cover and nose all epoxied and high build primed today.

Roof all finished. Shame no one will see this when the bug is back together as it’s hidden under the engine cover. 🤦‍♂️

Front quarter panel stripped and most of the shaping done.

Aiming to get this side and a fair chunk of the fibreglass panels into primer next weekend.

Roof repair section made up today and welded in, I just need to hammer the guttering lip over and make one more repair for the lower edge.

Made my first few passes of filler over the rear quarter. I’ll probably shape the O/S front quarter and then get this entire side into epoxy and high build primer in the next few weeks.

Hopefully only a day or so left on the shell metalwork.

Yesterday’s effort saw the window aperture finished off and the guttering and rear scuttle all welded in.

I’ve started stripping the paint off the O/S ready for shaping and priming. 😁
