Finished painting the repaired rear O/S window with primer. The crack repair treatment has arrived so I’ll be having a look at repairing the corner crack soon. The photo sequence below shows the repair at various stages and completion with new metal welded in and painted.
Completed welding repair sections to the frame of the rearmost N/S window. Power cut meant there was no time for a trial fit so that is tomorrow’s job.
Finished about 2/3 of the welding on the window frame today. I managed to retain only a small section of the curved part of the flange that abuts the body frame, the rest is new metal. I’m quite pleased with how this is going, shouldn’t need more than a tiny bit of filler to get the surface fit for painting. Hopefully should finish this frame tomorrow and trial fit before prepping for primer.
