Those patches are amazing, really well formed. I wouldn't have a chance at making such a nice job of that.

Cheers!

The shrinker and stretcher tools are used to form the front double curve of that panel then I welded it to a flat bit and dressed the welds back. They are very handy tools to have. First thing I made with them was an oversized gingerbread man cutter.

Some satin black, then the awful job of underseal. I hate underseal but as the car already had it it makes sense to give it a coat.

undersealed and exhaust refitted and we are done (appart from the mudflap once the underseal has dried)

We appear to be leaking in a few places. 2 fairly sizable leaks. One from the rear height thingy. And one is leaking on the nearside and dripping from the subframe.

Doesn't this just look like the stuff of nightmares!

its also leaking diesel, oil, engine and gearbox and possibly a tiny bit of coolant. 

screenwash looks fine tho, so thats a win!
