Have had a fair bit on lately and haven't had chance to get in the shed. Today I managed a short stint in between household jobs.

Managed to drill out yet more spot welds and prepare the last of the small patch pieces.

Didn't get time to zap them in before work however the next time I'm in the shed hopefully I'll start putting some more metal back into the car.

Looking good mate

Few more patches going in. At least they seem to be getting slightly easier and a bit quicker each time?

Again, not the neatest, was a bit tricky getting the layers right with a combination of but and plug welds. I'll go need to go around and fix the pin holes later, however at least there's mostly metal now where once there wasn't...






And onto the next one.

I can feel some lead wipe coming on

Currently working on the rear section of the sill where it meets the rear wheel arch., and it has been a challenge.

I didn't have the rear cut curved section so had to modify what I had from a B pillar.

Concentrating on getting the sill section right first as the guard section will come later. It's all paper thin. Been chasing holes for a while. Not sure if I'll have to completely do the end of the sill section, depends on how it progresses. Once it's done though, I'm finished the passenger side sill.

Forgot to get some pics, will do so in the next few days.

Funny you should say that, as I've been looking into it.
 
I have (or had) a big box of sticks and tinning paste that a mate gave me years ago.
One of those things, ive never used and sat for many many years. I vaguely remember throwing them out though, and try as I might, i cant seem to find them.....  (so I probably did). The old case of never needing something until after you've thrown it out.
 
Looking at the price online, it would appear i threw out several hundred dollars worth!
 
If i cant find them, i'll look at buying (expensive) otherwise will have to go some water proof filler options.
