With your fender repair it's all down to personal choice, I wouldn't joggle the fender repairs, it does give you a bit of leeway if you get your cuts wrong but you will run into problems getting the wheel arch to look right and the seam at the door edge will be tricky too.
I'd always butt weld this kind of repair, if you take your time with the measurements, leave an 1/8" extra on the panel for wriggle room and then grind the last little bit until you have the perfect fit. You have the skills to do that no problem |
Thank you gents.
I think cautious, slowly, gently will be the operative word here.
Took a day leave today so that I could prepare for my mid year review next week.
Yes, it is a big deal and a lot of preparing.
Fetched a fan from the garage, because it got hot.
This thermometer is inside my bathroom.
At about 19.00 Iwent to the garage to give the four rescue chairs a coat of Danish Oil.
With help as always.
Despite the two coats of furniture oil, you can s e the difference the Danish Oil made.
And all four done.
Happy with the exult.
Probably around £35.00 plus my time
Hopefully years of use ahead in them
