I painted the living room this week, so didn’t get much time on the car again. There was a problem with the inner wing on the drivers side rear not quite fitting, which I had realised was due to a big dent in the boot corner. I had tacked the inner wing on where it sat, which was wrong, so I cut it back off and hammered it all out properly. It ended up a lot better, not perfect tho. Nobody will ever see it, let alone notice, so there’s no real reason to worry!

I had decided to make my own cowl corner panels after getting ripped off by a breakers in the US, so I made a cardboard template from the remains of the rusted out one I had. It was quite an easy thing to make, at least in cardboard, so hopefully wont be too hard to do in metal. With the underside all done, the firewall was the next thing on my list, and the only way to get at it was to take it off the rotisserie. I hooked the engine crane onto the rotisserie hooks at the front then slowly pulled the front of the rotisserie apart. Once it was out of the way, I dropped it onto stands for the first time in a long time. Bit of a milestone for me, but now lots to do.
