Trial fitted the bumper, fuel tank, taillights, chrome mouldings etc to make sure everything lines up before carrying on, don't want to have to redo things as it takes long enough as it is to restore a car properly.
Need to yidy up all the welds and clean off any surface rust before sealing and painting.
Paul Knight from Classic Autos did a great job of welding in the rear chassis rails and fitting rear panels, saved me a lot of work and he has organised the repairs to be certified.
Here the welds are all ground back an painted now begins the panel sealing then I get to under seal the rest of the rear this Labour weekend.
Here I'm sealing all welds, seams and joins this will help prevent water getting in but need to leave drain holes so if any does get in it can escape.
Let it dry off prior to undersealing.
All undersealing finished off today, also got to fill chassis rails with body cavity sealer to prevent future rusting from the inside off all the rails and torque tubes.
I'll keep rotating the body and add extra cavity sealer so that it sloshes all around tthe inner cavities.
