Front valance panel part 2: lucky I didn’t get too cocky and actually test fit the panel to the wheel well closing panels... crap: didn’t fit at all at first - the shape and angle of the fold was all out! So, had to hammer it all flat again and this time aligned the fold and radii with the closing panels - a fair bit of pushing and prodding was required, but now it fits quite well! Very pleased! After return from the sand blaster it needed a bit more fettling but now is ready for the final stage.
The chassis finally went off to the sand blaster as well as a range of interior panels, the small strapotin seats and the rear lid. Now I at least know where the holes are . Sills and floor are certainly the main spots, as are the rear window frames on the rear lid and the right rear side.
while the chassis was off site, I used the garage space to tidy up the roof - fill the antenna hole, a few minor weld spots to finish and a bit of panel beating - again now ready for the sand blaster.
also stripped the fuel tank, treated a few rust spots and now have it ready for priming and painting
