Gwen's body repairs *UPDATE 16/8/06* Nearly done!
Well, Gwen's in the shop!
Spent the morning pulling her apart (actually i did what you can see in about 2 hours)
We found some really nasty rust... but it should all be repairable.. just ALOT of cutting and welding!!
Also some really nasty repairs... like the wire mesh behind and fiberglassed over the top.. with some expanda-foam to top it off!! :repuke
But yeah, i'm just glad we found it, and now its gonna be fixed PROPERLY!!

Good to see the work underway Jo.:thumb
Get out the stainless steel grinder cutting blades mate and go to town on that rust, those blades are much finer and cut body work like the old hot
knife in butter.

looks like you are going to need a cut panel to repair that lot. rear parcel shelf to boot lid should cover that. would have helped you out, but body
was dumped 2 months ago plus the distance!. good luck with it.:thumb

*UPDATE*
Just got back from going and checking Gwen's progress.. She's looking a damn sight better!! All the rust that we found is now gone.. just a few
minor things left, and a bit of paint and she'll be back on the road!
Hopefully i'll have her back this weekend! :kiss
