Nice Doc. I had a similar thing happen with my long sill side. A match head hole, and an adventurous grinder, and two hours later, I had nothing but a centremitre of bog dust covering the joint and no sill.. he he

Ahh well. Going well mate, keep it up!

Daryl got a little depressed when I bought out the new Kid so I put him front and centre to boost his ego

The washers are welded on to attach a slide hammer

It is for applications when its not possibble to get behind panel

A few things Doc.

Those vents are an absolute pain in the ass.. We must have the same bus nearly. Same year, both panels. I feel the pain there.

The Stinger/ Slide hammer thing is something I have been trying to access for a while now, because like you, there is dents in this bad boy that are in places that are double skinned. Slide hammers are available on eBay in a nice little kit for less than $100, usually $70.

Good job with the doors and floor, you are beating me there! (Gotta get on to those repair panels..) But Doc, WTF is going on with that rear door brother? THAT looks like fun..

Keep going buddy, doing well!

Thanks guys

JIM the roof gutter had the smallest of splits in it and water has rusted out all down that side in behind the rubber

I have fixed the top half which was a nightmare cause of all the angles (there is picks further back)
