First Up.. A Small Repair.

So... first up was a little repair on the underside of the rear, offside heater channel. The captive nut and its surrounding metal had gone a bit crusty.

So i cut it out, did some measuring and fabricated the piece i needed out of some sheet steel. The most crucial part was to weld in the captive nut in the right place, so when the body is married back up to the pan, the body bolt located in the right place.

As you can see, that "little" repair turned into slightly more than i thought! After stepping back and taking a look, i decided to pretty much rebuild the whole rear corner, including the rear block off plate.
