Rear panel seam I'd already dug out as it looked rusty, wasn't that bad at all once separated but at least I know it'll be OK, new section made up and let in.

I made up a section to repair the underside piece but without really knowing exactly what I needed it was difficult to say!
Handily not long after this bit was done I happened across an integrale at Cadwell Park so got to have a better idea of what went where!

That rather sums up this project - a hole so big you needed to look at another car to know what it should look like...

Keep up the good work Kevin, you're doing a cracking job . Really impressed with the repair sections you've been fabricating, some of them look very complex!

Cheers guys, I'll update a few more pictures over the weekend. Checking out other cars to see what it should look like in a few places was the only option David, fresh air doesn't give away too many clues

It seems my promise to update things "over the weekend" didn't quite pan out So with inspiration from cars like Robs' and more progress finally being done on my own car rather then my lads Imp I thought I'd inflict a few more pictures on you guys. The passenger side (RHD converted, remember…..) was no better than the drivers with a few gaping holes to fill in...

View from under the wheel arch isn't any better

Forward part of the inner arch wasn't up to scratch really either so I cut it out, whilst here it makes no sense to leave stuff

With the forward section made solid enough and door alignment kept in check the attention moved to the boot floor area where the fuel pipes etc go through
