A little more done...

A load of redundant wiring removed from under the dashboard

Starting lower inner wing repairs with KalKat...

Image

And.... windscreen pillar repairs (decided to do the outer panel only)

Still got to repair the roof section at the top of the pillar though :(

Only a light weekend, and before you ask Andy... water got between the screen and the bodywork and froze in the cold weather and cracked the screen :(
