More rust repairs on my Austin, all repairs were made in my garage from 1.2mm steel sheet. Grinder and snips were used to cut the steel. Cardboard templates made as a pattern for the repairs. I could buy the repair panels but it is more fun making them.

Looking good Lee!! Let local garage loose on my van and now a shame to drive around in it in case somebody thinks it's my welding.... :( Sadly instead of making panels that fit or even buying the panels which would have been cheaper they just welded flat strips of metal on top when I say welded I mean some pigeons were cooing nearby.... Right next to the patches are two big holes as well... But apparently that passes the MoT... I realised I should have done it myself now. But I just thought it would be quicker if they did it... It took them 10 minutes apparently... But it took 6 hours to polish the headlights....

To be honest before I took on this retirement project I watched loads of RU-vid videos. Yorkshire car restores and Fitzees fabricator they are both fantastic to watch but have different ways to repair, however they both gave me confidence to have a go myself. Both always end up cutting the rust out, and show the issues when someone welds a plate over the rust. It does seen quicker to at least try to do the repair properly. Thanks so much for youe comments...All the best ..Lee

@@PastimeClassicCarRestorer that's great to hear Lee! No problems it's always best to repair it by cutting the rust out!
