Downstairs Dave 37 Posted August 23, 2013 Spent a couple of hours tonight welding the roof, spot welded the front aperture and finished welding the O/S pillar joint. This joint will be re-leaded as per original. Also got myself a donor MX5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Downstairs Dave 37 Posted August 26, 2013 Spent the bank holiday on the car, thought I'd get the sill sorted before attaching the rear quarter. I shall be making a die press tool for the triangular shape, this bit has to look right, so will spend a few lunch hours at work with the die grinder. hopefully this tool will work in a vice.

Downstairs Dave 37 Posted August 28, 2013 Straightened out the N/S outer tub as there had been a poor repair before, someone pushed out the rear wing with a crow bar by the looks of it. Lined up the N/S quarter, all good, it meets up in all the places, starting to look like a car now... Well Pleased:rolleyes: :rolleyes: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
