today i got out and sorted out the passenger front quarter rust hole ;)

not overly impressed with the outcome. but not too bad for a first go

but it will need some smoothing off.

drivers side is on its way...

then ill be on to the rear quarter

progress is slow and time is scarce

but i have a dead line to meet...
