Well its been awhile so were to start well i had the side door sand blasted on the back and the bottom 12" and well let the pics tell the story

so i have started the repaires i have the skin made and about half way through the frame repaires

been playing withe the left c pillar come rear quarter need to replace a big secon of floor and the pillar and the bottom of the quarters

started on the internal brace before

after

went to make a floor section and relised im out of 1.2mm sheet

so i made a pillar section in a simmple hammer form can any one pick where i went wrong :?

made right hand instead of left but all not lost need a small patch on the other side
and last but not least put the second last patch in the the donnar roof
