So cool seeing another great car getting saved!

Sorry to add a negative to this, but I HATE to see brazing used anywhere on bodywork......you can never weld on that metal again.

Proper patch panel fitment would be a butt-welded and metalfinished seam. Sad thing is that it is really not hard if guys would take the time to learn.....
<just saying>

all true but don't forget there is a budget involved.
Those doors ahve been filled twice already so actually saving its life.

but will see if it closes properly after its done.

I'll keep you posted

Some progresss
First coat goes on
Fingers crossed.

The doors are still the main worry.

also looking for the rubbers that fit around teh quarter vent rear windows behind the doors if any one knows where to get them in Cape Town.
Shipping from the US is a bit to expensive.

Your resto is coming on nicely, you can try Pro Auto rubber in Montagu Gardens.
