Not much to report lately with christmas and now all this rain but this was done before the rain
Don't want to put the epoxy high build on with this humidity around as i want the resto to last

Thanks for all the comments guys now getting a little closer
Fitted up the rear tray sections today
First i drilled all the holes out then cleaned them up ready for welding and screwed the panel down through every second hole as pic one shows

Image

This pic shows it all welded down and the lip on the edge all folded around
The tray is not bowed as the pic shows its just my photo for some reason :?
Still have the fun job of grinding all the welds flat :)

Image

Image

A pic up in under the engine bay just need to clean up all the welds along the middle under the tray
