Well I have started to cut rot from drivers side floor and have started to weld new plates in. Rot cut out. Then welded parts in managed to do one plate and dress up the other I have managed to tack but unable to fully weld yet as I dropped something on my auto darking welding lens so have a new welding mask coming.

Small update after a little practice with the welder I decided I would start and tackle some welding on the car I started with the drivers side inner wing. I wont lie there was much cursing and swearing as I started to blow more holes than doing any welding but after a little patience I felt i was gettng somewhere and the puddle welds started to go really well the but joint I found a little harder but got there in the end just got some pin holes to weld up, All in all I'm really happy with the results as I have never welded before.

Welding has started after a few leeson from my dad who kindly welded new section onto innerwing I returened home and spent a little while with the welder and did some practice. I have now started to fill up some holes that I used to line up panels and have started to apply weld through primer where needed plan is to have innerwings in position by weekend and welded then cam move onto headlight panel.

Here is my project that I started in November last year, I picked up the car and set to work straight away as body work was tatty and could see some rust but that was least of my worries. The front of the car was stripped this exposed that the headlight panel and both innerwings where rotten so removed engine and sorted new parts for repair. I removed the dimma quarter panels and sideskirts so I could check sills and rear arches,rear arches not to bad but will replace,sills rotton so they will be changed. I have cut all rot out of front and am in progress of fitting replacement parts to the front then will make a spit for the car so I can carry on with repairs to sills and underside. Few pics of car when I got it. I started to strip fron end
