nice work Robbo :thumbsup:
When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

Spent weekend cutting out botch repair job. Grafting in sections of donor car. The section that I cut out is solid so trimming it up to fit back in. Thankfully,as with all repairs, this only has to be done once. Cheers. ImageImageImageImageImage

Reading through your thread again Robbo and it's a wonder I haven't come across you on the peninsula. My wife and I moved to Kadina in 1987. I used to drive my cream EK 215 all over the peninsula, mid and lower north, surveying boundaries for various farmers, councils and developers. Usually at 80mph.
Anyway looking forward to reading some more on your ute. Looking at piccies of course. (Hint hint).
Cheers

Those shots of exposed rear quarters remind me of my van. What's your plan for replacing the outer? I have been considering salvaging some rear door skins but I suppose rear door half skin repair sections would be a clean option. You might be clever enough to form your own. Looking at your new inner sills, looks like your pretty handy with the body work.
