As promised an update on progress since my last post.
The welding has finally been completed, including all the bits I have discovered since delving more deeply into layers of filler and rust.

| The right hand rear wing to back of sill section was full of filler, including an old stainless steel pan-scourer and this is all that was left after cutting it all out. |
This sequence of pictures shows the reconstruction process.
The left hand rear wasn't quite so bad.
The parts both sides at the rear of the back wheels.
The rear cross panel, under the boot lid was stuffed with filler so I had to make and weld a new piece.
Making the curvy bits at the ends was the most difficult task
Finally, after removing the bolt-on front valance, the cross-member was found to be rusted out so I had to make a new one of these as well.
Since taking these photos I have turned my attention to the engine bay and am well on the way to finishing the repainting and reassembly of under bonnet parts.
Pictures of this to follow, watch this space and add your comments.
