The beading for all of the nearside, except for the rear corner panel, is now fitted. I have to finish the corner panel with a skim of filler, which is what I have been doing today. Also today I ground out the scrapes from the nearside rear corner bumper, having discovered it is made from stainless steel. I should be able to finish polishing it in the next few days.

The hiatus in progress was due to a number of things including getting Alfred ready for an MOT and maintenance on the MW. That completed, I was able to fit the offside corner panel today. As with the nearside corner, this panel needed to be extended by about 1.5″. I did this by welding in a strip of aluminium recovered from the wheelarch panel left over from restoring the MW.

Work has been concentrated on paneling around the boot door opening and getting the rear corner panels to fit the repaired frame. This has required welding a couple of strips to the forward edge of the nearside panel to extend it by about an inch.
