The first corner

After my grinding session I had spent some hours cutting out repair panels for the N/S front err... VW Leprocy and have a lovely mosaic of panels to rebuild it with (No Photo yet).

First things first though, as I am working on the O/S I should fix that corner first. I ground away the remains of the small closing panel between the door and the bumper mounting after making a template for the new cheap hand made replacement. After triming back any other corrosion I made a template for a new bottom of the A'post (door hinge pillar) and then fabricated myself a new one.

After a bit of trial fitting and many adjustments with the grinder I started to weld it in, true to form I struggled with the welding again with it just spitting all over the place but the end results of the welding, once ground back were good enough for this area.

I have let in another little repair patch to the bottom of the bumper mounting panel andground it all back, it is now ready for the shutting panel to go in but I will leave this until the front wheel arch goes on to make sure that the panel lines are okay.

Things seem to be steaming along at the moment and Mr. Savage might be required again very soon.
