The plan is to use the fuel filler inner panel and the rear of the boot floor off the rear cut. we couldn't use all of it due to damage.

Both quarters are getting replaced with spares we have.

we have ordered the tail light panel, both tail light buckets and beaver from the patchmaker so they should arrive in the next week or two.

Big project Steve, 

Looks like it is in good hands with you and your Dad, enjoy!

Well over the last two days we have manages to get the first piece mostly welded back in.

The plan front here is to patch up another holes in the boot floor and get it painted in KBS for the most part before continuing.

It should be a lot easier to access like this than with more bits in the way.

Another patch done, I made up the replacement section using a couple of steel rods from bunnings as dolly's, came out alright all things considered.

Most of the boot floor is now done. Soon we will paint it in KBS rust proof paint.

On another note we are really holding out for these panels from the patchmaker to arrive. Finding communication hard with them. paid 3 and a half weeks ago and still has arrived or provided a tracking number. Does anyone know how long he usually takes to ship items?
