So - start to look at putting the offside rear quarter on now.

Trimming down and trying on for size.

Decided to mount the battery tray to the chassis leg first then should make lining up the rear quarter a bit better

And then a trail fit of the rear quarter.

It still fits

Needed to address an area around the hatch area where the rubber goes before I attach the rear quarter as it was badly rusted (the dark area you see in the channel is old glue..)

Lined up the rear quarter.

Had to leave it for a few days so rust set in

So started to grind down the welds and remove the rust.

30.07.2015

Due to having to leave it in the open over night, put some rust prevention stuff on the welds.

Started the grinding down process.

Started to join the wheel well together with the cut.

Looks like I have added a skim of filler and sprayed some etch primer over it.

 

[gninnam]

03.08.2015

A bit more filler (hate this part)

 

[gninnam]

06.08.2015

Getting their now.

 

[gninnam]

08.08.2015

Filling and sanding completed so a coat of primer then a top coat.

 

[gninnam]

09.08.2015

Seamed sealed the weld areas on the inside and a dusting of top coat:

Oh - and rear light now on

Adding in the final piece - horrible piece as it has many curves.

The hole from inside the engine bay:

From under the wheel arch:

The repair piece cut and being tested for final fit:

Almost up-to-date now (thank god)

Now welded in and the welds ground down.

A bit more tidying up then I will paint and seam seal the remainder of this side.

 

[gninnam]

Oh - and changed my daily driver too.

Liking it alot

Thanks Mike.
Getting there with the welding but still a bit to go before I can get it MOT'd.

Agreed, the daily is nice
