after welding and cooling it was time for some precision grinding  it's almost straight, just needs a minimum of lead.    Took me a few hours, but is's worth it. Paul. |

Today I started fixing the left quarterpanel I couldn't find a good donor, so I had to make the best of it with the repro panels. First I shortend it.  After taking some measurements from an original '54, I started hammering.  Just needs a little massage  Paul. |

Getting closer to paint now Not really, its one step forward and two steps back at the moment. I started repairing the 1/4 panel, after adjusting the new sheetmetal, fitting 4 different fenders and adjusting the new sheetmetal again, it looks like I stepped one forward without stepping back  Cheers Paul. |

After some welding and grinding, i am very happy with the result   I still had doubts about the home made steering and changed my mind. I am going for "rack n pinion". This Peugeot 404 steering will do the trick, the round couple rubber which is original for this Peugeot as well, even has the same bolt width  Paul. |

The left is ready, time to start on the right side. First clean the shop then turn the car and level it. I was very glad I was ready on the left, and now I can start all over again. DAMN this is a lot of work   Paul. |

First I tried to fit the door. As expected that didn't fit, not in a milion years. After a lot of thinking, pushing and stretching, it was time to use my hydraulic friend. Finally it fits like a glove.    Paul. |

The first attempt failed, so here's the second attempt of repairing the Right 1/4 panel. after some hammering and grinding.  Hammering the oval shape in it.  Starting to look original.  Paul. |

After the new sheetmetal was in shape, It was time to make "the notch"  Made a notch and tacked it in place, it looks a bit odd but the shape is like the original.  And again some trial fitting.  Paul. |
