A bit of a change from all the chassis work I’ve been doing (it’s not finished yet, but I want to get the O/S bits sorted before I turn my attention to the N/S floor and the delights that the sliding door track and middle sill will offer).
Started grinding the paint off the O/S panel. Found an impressive amount of filler, however the metal underneath is solid.
Drew a straight-line across the panel and committed the cut (I didn’t have to cut quite as high as I originally thought which will save some effort). I’ll come back to this panel once I’ve sorted the B and C pillars.
B pillar condition wasn’t too bad, however the front arches are knackered (which I already knew):
Checked the fit of the B pillar repair against the new arch (it fits better than this picture suggests; the clamps fell off):
And cut the B pillar repair down to size. It still needs a bit of fiddling to get a perfect fit. I’ll then use this to aid me in fabricating the inner bits of the B pillar repair.
