Got a bit more done today but had to finish early as I got a call saying the mothering law has fallen and broken her leg and ankle :roll: :roll:
But I managed to get 1 wheel tub in and get the rear panel on

Hopefully I can get the wheel tubs on tomorrow and the quarters

Man thats some work. How much did the panels come to in total?
Could you do a list of the parts replaced so we can get a guestimate for what ours might cost?
Obviously don't include labour and top paint...

Suppose a rough idea of hours too might help!
Fekin tip top work there guys!

Isn't the box section meant to have the end enclosed? I don't remember seeing an open end there before... (might be wrong though)

Oh... and if you are going to try and get it to transitmania... check that the paint/laquer the paint company supply isn't all lumpy well in advance this time :lol:

Got the arch fitted whilst Allan was prepping the inner frame

Got the qtr panel fitted and as we hung the panel we sealed the arch with sealer then spot welded,hopefully this will keep the water out of the arch
