Hi Clay,
Looking good with the metal repairs. Thought you might have given the spray gun a go given the weather is starting improve?

Regards
Stephen

Did have a go last weekend Stephen, just some patch priming. I’ll have some more to do when I finish the bit I’m repairing now around the spare wheel door. Lot of family action this weekend with Charlotte’s 21st, Raff’s soccer and Father’s Day.

Been away all week and itching to get back in to it. Got a fair bit of the spare door abutment done and pretty happy with it. ImageImageImageImageImage
Then soccer training intervened.
Photos are Arsenal about for some reason and bloody spell check is giving me the Sheffield United’s.

You're doing a great job there Clay. What a pity you didn't make 2 of those panels 😰
Thanks for posting mate. Perfect info for me.
