What do you do with a nasty rear corner that's been battered and had a concrete filler job...
Get rid of it for a fresh one
I got my spring plates and A-Arms cleaned up and painted after re-locating the brake bracket on top of the arm to stop it catching the gearbox cradle

Yeah at least I will be able to see the traffic when joining a motorway, my early LHD panel was a blind spot extravaganza!!

Got the fresh corner and battery tray fitted this afternoon, I always try and use autocraft panels where possible they fit really well and make jobs easier

Just testing the new pic attacher!!
Still on for paint in the next few weeks, fitted my springplates, A-arms and hubs and they fit nice so well chuffed with my measuring and new IRS chassis legs

Update time!
Still in the air now with beam off and IRS swing arms and springplates fitted
Well scrubbed and the etch primer had started going on before mastic then body coloured paint
And now it's starting to look like a bus again!!!
Next jobs are to finish the bits of welding and underside paint, then fit new front setup and then major DA time to get it ready for paint
