Yeah it's come out really good, I've knocked the heads of the welds but I don't think it would be too much work to smooth it and make it look really clean. However I'm not doing that since it's getting covered and it's not a show car lol.
Been in a weird fettle last few days so not really touched the pug, not sure why but possibly cos I wasn't sure how to make a start on patching the bit from the boot floor to the side panel. I thought about it for ages but wasn't getting anywhere so took a grinder to it and cut out the shapes completely. Plan is to cut a piece to fill in and then use a seam roller I've bought but never used to put in a few seams for strength then weld it in. The piece inside the panel will be easy enough as I just need to make a template and cut it out then put some folds in it for the spot welds but planning to also put seams in that aswell.
I have had a tendancy, in the past, to get so far with a project then stall because I didn't know how to get past a hurdle and then it just sit there and rot away. I'm desperately trying to not let that happen to this project. So fingers crossed lol. Oh and thanks for the kind comments mate.
