It is so satisfying watching rust replaced by new steel. Nicely done.

I like that you left the date code intact.

 

I assume "3G7" would be 3rd July 1977 but what does the "E" stand for?

The front guards get there fix, on the drivers side guard the lower part had previously been replaced from the usual rust but it wasn't perfect + the inner skin had a couple of rust spots, the passenger guard had a small amount of rust but required a few hours to get it straight again

You can see why panel and paint are the most expensive part of a resto.

NIce work with the door, lot of work to repair all that.

Those clamps you use to hold the panel together, are you using a bolt through the join? Are they home made or a commercial product?

 

I would be interested in seeing how they work.
