Recycling? The old fashion way.

Well work has started in earnest on OBL's sills/step/van side. I knew the whole bottom edge of OBL was "full of filler" the previous owner had told me this. Repairs had been carried out to the rear light clusters but the guy doing the repairs would not weld near the petrol tank, so filler was used. On cutting away the lower edge/side, a repair section was uncovered. Yes the repairer had recycled an old ICI paint can, to form a sort of "bridge that gap" backing plate.
Here we see one of the first new panels having a trial fit in the drivers side step.
Many more pictures are being loaded on to MTR's blog site, it should be on-line this weekend....
