You've done a great job on all of it,but that last piece is brilliant,there's a lot of tricky shapes there.
You're prob ahead of me here,but before you weld up the outer front panels,drop the bonnet on.
No amount of adjustment can make up for the hole being the wrong size.
Keep up the good work.
That's a fairly heroic rescue that; you seem to have replaced about 50% of the sheet metal! Proper job.
Are you going to use solder for the filling or just isopon or the like ?
Done some more on the bulkhead repairs. Fabbed a repair panel for the big hole I made !!! Needs some more work, but quite chuffed with it at the moment.
All the rot removed. There is still some in the footwell, where the master cylinder has leaked, but I will do the repair in two pieces, so I can retain the position of the steering column housing/bracket.

First trial fit. Now it needs to have some clips and holes put in it.

Once I have this repair done. I will prep and paint the whole area, before I replace the scuttle panel, as access will be much easier as it is.
I was going to use some 'Dinitrol' alu filler for the A posts, but I'm not 100% sure how to tackle the C pillar joint. Any ideas. It was leaded in the factory. Can I solder over the top of that ? I am guessing the original stuff will run off if I apply heat ?
