What are you getting done. The rear quarters design is just a big rust trap, no wonder they go in this area.

Everything she went in for wings and a bonnet but one thing lead to another. We have had rear quarters made among a lot of other things hopefully back sometime this year

Good stuff. Double check the work at the rear especially, it's a tricky area to fix and easily the hardest area on the car to do properly. I'd recommend another small drain hole in the area under the rear brake lights and get them to seam seal everything in between coats of epoxy primer. Done right and you shouldn't have to touch it again but have seen plenty of estates bodged in the rear.

Got the lower panel tacked in, not perfect but not terrible either. 50 plug welds just on that wee panel.

Off for work for a week but will get the Amazon on the rotisserie when I’m back. Will be getting her media blasted and epoxy primed. The end is in sight for welding the shell.

That has to be the narrowest garage in the world. You must be one thin dude, or very flexible in order to be able to work on the car while it is in there. My back muscles develop involuntary spasms just thinking about trying to work in those conditions.

The first 2 pictures show plenty of room to the side to work in. Garages big enough for a small family to live in aren't common in the UK!

It's in the middle of the city so as you can imagine there's not a lot of workshop space about so it's not perfect but I'm not complaining. :-) I looked for years for something and my wife talked me into buying this and turning it into what I wanted. It's also a 5min walk to the high st, 5min walk to the beach front and 10min walk home.
