looks in a similar state to the one we just picked up,
ours is just a body shell and an incomplete pile of bits.

practise on summat you dont want to keep! dolly does all the work hammers just to lift dolley off inside to make it bounce. just little taps - theres better and bigger hammers for walloping stuff around!

only half day today! other stuff needs doing!
scotty brought over his slide hammer so had a play with that for half hour or so to make the side panel a little straighter. as one of the previous owners had kindly lent a hand with the dents by ramming a bar or summat through the inside of the "B" pillar i not only had dents to deal with but lots of little mountain ranges where the blunt object had been thoughtfully placed!Pinch so once i was getting nearer the shape along the bottom near the sill i cut out a section so i could tackle the hilly areas! and get to some of the other dents further down the panel.
 
panel behind rear wheel which was popped out from the rear light housing. looks so much better after a stint with the hammer and dolly! i'll get a base coat on before i decide on filler?
 
 
moved the caddy to get to the sills and you can see where the sliders been helping!
 
 
better picture before cut!
 
 
so as i was getting nowhere fast i cut the fucker out for better access! and set to with the hammer and dolley again then reshaped the swage line across my table. tacked in and not looking too shabby so far....
 
 
then what seemed like a lifetime spottin all the way round keeping it as cool as possible!
 
 
it's gunna need a skim of filler across it but all in all not bad considering! as theres now a slight deflection in the panel about 3/4mm i'll have another go with the slide before i do anything else
 
deflection in 1/4
 
 
then decided to weld up the the trim holes along the sill as i've only got one good one and its another place to trap dirt then go rusty on me!
 
guna try and source a new sill for below the door as thats propper mashed up i think i can use a 3 door mk1 golf sill for that but see how expensive they are or failing that i'll get a cut off someones breaker along with that front corner? hmmm might ring guz or bobcat.......
