Thank you @outlaw118ย ๐Ÿ™‚. Well I must thank everyone else for the kind words too!

Won't lie. I hadn't appreciated at how much work was needed to get this far. It's a process for sure. But we'll give a bash and see what happens!

Managed a little more progress today. It's not much but still a step forward.ย

Made a card template of the inner area and then transferred it to steel. This time not from the the usual source, a Fiat Doblo back door ๐Ÿ˜†. Pushed the boat out, 1.2mm zintec gear!ย

It was easy to form. A vice and a hammer got the curve without too much hassle.

Fits ok for a hand form section. Just tacked in for now. As is the theme of late. I'll finish it next weekend ๐Ÿ˜†.

His commitment to seeing an unloved car see a few years longer should see him knighted. Or sectioned. Depending on how you view itย ๐Ÿ˜†

Aye definitely the latter! ๐Ÿ˜†ย 

I think it's because they are unloved is what drives me to do it. Not seen many Ledbury's getting this level of metal work.ย 

And as said before it's seat time with the welder. Can't get better at welding if I don't do any.ย
