God knows what has happened to this car (been used as a tractor?) but the underside and arches had been absolutely caked in mud before I got it - I've never seen a car like it!
The sill covers came off and were also full of mud...

But how's that for rust free sills?


Old bits (back) and new panels (front)

Door might look ok now, but shows up just how bad the paint job is on that rear quarter panel even more!


Going back together. New lights and wing loosely fitted

Bumper test fitted


Ok it's dark now, but you get the idea




Very pleased with the result and what we managed to get done in the time!
Gotta refit the arch liners, undertray, indicators and corner lights, foglights, refit the door loom and internal panel and she's done ready to go off for a bonnet swap!
Bonnet has always had that crap alignment along the wing btw (high at the back). The hinge is bent and I'll sort that when the new bonnet goes on...
(I forgot to take pics of the corner all fully straightened and rust protected before the panels went back on)
