Thanks mate, but..

Too late for that. Brian's already cut a big hole in it! haha. The firewall was rooted around the hole, so one of those little repair panels wouldn't have been enough.

Here's where we're up to.. Mostly Brian.. I just drilled the hole. Haha.

Haha.. Yeah that's what the car looks like. Cheers man.

Well, after some lunch I filed the clutch cable hole up and got it all sweet, then Brian worked his magic again..




So now it's double thickness 1.5mm (3mm total). It should be a hell of a lot stronger. I don't think i'll have a problem wit it now..

Tomorrow he'll fix the other couple of spots up, then it's time for me to sand blast the bay, drag my mate's TIG 'round and start seam welding..

Other rust hole fixed..
