Looking good bud
Was heading to natti for footy this week until dickhead Dan stepped up and lock the state down again and was going pop around for another look

Painted behind the rear corner in areas which will be difficult to spray once it is install. Weld through primer inside the pillar for protection.




With the long panel trial fitted and clamped on, it was time to weld the rear corner on. The rear edge of the long panel was clamped to ensure correct fitment...




OG taillight section was used to trace on before cutting the new hole. Used all of the dimensions that I took before cutting off the rear corner.




Welds ground back and ready for a quick spray of primer...
