Here we're finishing off the rust repair on the rear of the Herald 13/60 so that it can go off for repair of the accident damage to the back end. The shapes are a little awkward, but we manage a decent result!

Lovely job, as usual. I do like how you talk about the welding over a few days. Slow is sure and sure is fast

Thanks Henry, yeah I'll do an hour or two each evening / afternoon if I can and just chip away at it!

Nice work as always, never too sure how they get so rusty on the edges of the light panels I can’t think how water gets in there. Looks like your arch lips have been done before as originally that return lip would have been an inch wide so it definitely catches the inner arch, but looks like your plan would work. 👍 looking forward to seeing how the door skin goes 🤞 Jon

Thanks Jon. In this case the left side was not rusty and had a good braze joint filling the seam with the wing top panel, the right side had a blob of brass and a gap, so I’m assuming that’s how the water was getting in. On the lip, there was a bit of original metal remaining, and that was fairly narrow and spot welded right on the edge. Maybe I’d just lost some of the very edge to rot, difficult to be sure though!

As per usual, great repairs. I guess all these companies that make repair panels ( I say all , it's probably 1 or 2 ?) are no longer using the original tooling, which even if they were , would be worn out by now, so we are perhaps lucky that they make them at all, despite the whole panel perhaps not being the correct shape. When my own MK3 spit was rebuilt in the early 90's, the welder who did all the fitting of panels said just how bad the panels were for fitment, the floor pans he said were dreadful, so this isn't a new thing really ( sadly) .

Thanks :) Some panels are pressed on original tooling, but you're right they're showing their age (I've had various different ages of Rover marked Spitfire sills and modern BMH ones and you can see the differences as the press dies have aged). That arch panel perhaps saved me a day, but it wouldn't be much use if someone needed more of it than I did...
