Little
More. Was tossin up wether to leave the cutouts. But it got the better of me..










Still need to blend the paint a little but happy with the result.

After overthinking the whole process I decided to just $%#@ an hope for the best.

Simple thinking makes it easier than overthinking.

So after cutting and hammering straight the existing remanants, I cut and stitched in the new one. The old cut job was terrible and they hammered the sections, so a little work was needed to make it straighter.
The holes on the lhs will be sorted out, but I wanted to get it in 1st then sort the holes so it didn’t warp too much.


Was really satisfying taking off the ratchet and it didn’t move again!




Then I ran out of gas. Damn.

Good job mate. Definitely a tricky one, hell I did it twice before I was happy. I did it the exact same way you did and it came up awesome.

That’s reassuring to know then! I was sceptical with this way, but was happy when it didn’t pull apart. After the structural part is in the rest hopefully will fall into place.

Looking awesome mate!

Double post, sorry mate

Pillar to Pillar is the only way to do it if you can find a good donor. I originally tried to patch one in and it turned out shit, I was stoked when i found a complete one to do it again.

You also got lucky having the OG centre section there, I had to replace that area on mine and it won't be as neat as yours.

I hope it will look neat. but on the other hand, it won’t be seen because it will have the full bulkhead interior on it also.
