Hi guys , I posted some pics a month ago to show you what I had gotten myself into as at the time I was finding moral was a bit low as I kept finding more rust ( what a shock )
Anyway things have progressed and I have all of the welding done on one side of the car , although my wife and kids are starting to forget I still live here , I’ve spent so much time in the garage

My kids use to call my cars "Dad's metal children" when they were small, now they call for the car keys.

All that progress in 1 month? Great work!

Thanks ! , I wish I could get the other side done just as quickly, but I think it might take longer as it might need an inner sill, but i won’t know for sure until I start cutting bits off first .
Anyway fingers crossed it will be ok

My crew call out to the garage every now and then to see how it’s going, they are probably wondering when will it be finished so we can take her for a spin to get ice cream or some threat like that
They might be waiting quite a while for that though

Thanks, it’s great to get some progress on her and also it’s a good distraction from the COVID lockdowns
