I'd say the last panel beater to work on it knew what he was doing.

The roof is coming along.

There are a couple of temporary braces underneath to help give it shape. Once its tacked in the finessing begins.

 

 

These turned up today

The hinges are shagged and last time it was apart someone put bolts in to replace the worn pins. Repairable like all things made of metal but the new ones are cheap enough to not bother.

Lots of adjustable braces. Slowly slowly.

Rexy hi, the roof is looking fantastic, are you doing the welding yourself or is it in a panel shop, never the less it looks great, i have a friend with the same hole in his torana and would love to patch up the same way you have done.

I have an old Croatian guy doing it. His welding is much better than mine. He also has a good eye for detail and while he's not the quickest the result will be very good.

He did this one for me a while ago.

Rexy hi does he want to do another hole, the section is already in place to weld, he lives in the sunshine area thanks

[rexy]

If he can get the car to Keysborough Im sure he would do the job.

In between letting welds cool off the new rear spoiler is being fettled.

Sounds like something the project binky guys would say.

Looks like good progress.

 

Those spoilers can be quite a pain. Very noticeable though, so worth getting them close.
