    You also want to get the air out by tapping or vibration. Or pop down to mitre 10 and buy one that’s ready made https://www.mitre10.co.nz/shop/firth-grey-block-190-x-290-x-190mm/p/431438

    I have half a sheet of 1.1mm zinc coated stuff. So cut it out as one piece, replicate out of multiple pieces then weld one completed piece in? Right. Off to you tube for some lessons. Thanks again.

    Don’t really know where to start with this

    Thanks @Spencer @Nominal outside is not too bad Front lower inner is

    Sweet. I will take the paint off along the bottom of the outside and have a look.

    I have seen that site while ago when searching (dreaming) for a replacement tailgate. Bottom of the rear side windows is a bit scabby.

    I can live with 10 - 15 years.

    Plan was to paint the repairs as I go, but not too worried about colour matching. I was just going to find a rattle can that is close enough. Definitely keen to keep it on the road, but in saying that I only use it a couple of times a year lately. Not keen to strip to whole car and for it to become one of those garage ornaments covered in boxes.

    Question is, how far do I keep digging? I don’t plan on stripping the whole thing. The darker bog is hard and has a layer of green paint. Let me know: https://oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/33837-alltorques-1970-buick-sportwagon/&page=10

    The gift that keeps on giving.

    Umm. Gearbox and engine in will make a difference

    That escalated quickly

    Next, onto the right front door

    Most of you know the rear door handles are missing thanks to some yank in the early 2000s. Check out the sweet hole filling. I will leave it as is for now incase I decide to find and fit some handles. The brown is the factory sound deadening stuff. Inside the door is pretty solid except for those two spots.

    Next scabs to pick we’re on the bottom corners of left rear door. Cut some holes and made some squares. I got a bit keen and things git a bit hot and warped, but managed to tap it flat again. Remember I’m new to this. When grinding down the rear patch I found another thin spot and needed to put a bit more in.

    Guard has a second skin, that is stood off from outer. It was a little scabby. Gave is a wire brush, rust converter and paint.

    This is the first time I have done panel work. I am pretty happy with how it turned out. Tell me I’m doing it wrong here:

    Picked a scab to pick at...

    Oh, remember that time I bought a welder 2.5 years ago? Thanks to Covid lockdown I found some time to set it up and found some balls to start cutting.

    I’m bringing this up again. The small hoses that used to come out of the water bridges may be there for a reason.

    If you are worried, put the bumper on.
  24. AllTorque
    You have answered your own question there. As long as it can’t hook anything or hurt someone you are fine.

    +1 for liking the stripes. Gives it some character and looks less like a fridge.
