Sliding door repair all welded in. Happy with the gaps and panel is relatively straight!

O/S closing panel welded in. It might only be a small panel but it marks the end of 3 months hard work. The cab welding is complete! Onto the sliding door and rear arches!
N/S closing panel all welded in. Just the O/S panel to do now!
