815 coupe restoration

[Kevinlincs]

Relatively pleased with the weeks progress, a few distractions as my rented workshop is in a yard with others and it's sometimes a social thing rather than a full days work, which is nice as it breaks the day up so not like you're getting an 8 hour workday in. Plus it's a good 40 minute drive each way to the workshop.
The aim of the week was to get the back panel on and hope to get both rear inner arches and the parcel shelf done.
Well the panel is on, both inner arches are done and the parcel shelf is now done so that's good, it's just the lower valance to the sides that needs making now and the side panels to attach to the boot floor.

Boot floor itself and the fuel tank surround is pretty much done aside from the seam sealing to do and one tank fastener to add.
Inner arch rot where it braces up to the hinge support has been replaced so it's again ready for cleaning and seam sealing.

It'll be a week or two now before I get back to it but happily it's now well on the way to being solid, rather than thoughts of just scrap it. Back on track to have the welding finished before winter sets in then the suspension etc can come off for blasting and powder coating then next spring the paint prep can start.

The important part is that you enjoy it still - am sure some go to "their workshop" and ONLY drink tea and socialise!
