Default Trial fits

Wednesday was spent cutting the vertical and base pieces of the centre section of the front panel to enable us to get a sporting chance of straightening them up to use as samples for the replacements we pressed last week.

We aligned all the bits of the centre section of the panel for a trial fit. Anyway after sometime we'd got it aligned as best we could and Richard kindly tack welded them. We offered them up to the vehicle, pics 1-3, to see how bad things are and were surprised to see how good the fit is. So we'll start making the replacement vertical pressings fit and weld them up ready for the end result.

We also need to decide what to do with the front bulkhead. The distortion is quite small, see final pic, but I want it right, so we'll pull it back to shape as described before. This needs to be done in conjunction with the repairs to the front doors which will be the next to be tackled, to ensure a good fit.

The ruptured oil line to the oil pressure gauge has been replaced and a radiator overflow hose has been fitted.
