Thanks for the replies and comments :)

Ended up having to rebuild the whole of the inner wing before even getting to the outer skin.

Good enough for a skim of filler :thumbright:

Repair on the other side started with the rotten spare wheel well - but that of course grew! Ended up deleting the daft bit of the well that sits below the wing bottom.

I may post some more horror photos as I was allowed the use of the grinder again this afternoon :twisted:

I have got one, and a roller version as well, but tend to prefer butt welding where I can. I'm less worried about using filler on the Plymouth, as it's a driver and will never win a concours class :lol: As long as the rust has gone.....

Look away now.....

Some more polishing, and ready to go back on. I'd call it a six-footer as I had some paint reactions (I do spray in pretty bad conditions :roll: ) You can't see them in the photo - that's just dodgy shadows! Considering how rotten it was, overall pleased with the outcome.

Motor, mechanism and wiring all refurbed, and finally have the electric rear lock working :thumbright:

Now just to finish all the door shuts, the doors, the rear of the roof, the rear lower wings, sills, lower front wings, headlining, rear wiring..... :cry:
