Re: Project Lenny our brilliant orange bustoration
Yeah pretty much what multisi has said. But the upper panel flanges onto the remaining arch you can see. Only thing stressing my mind at the minute is how to connect the new full panel back onto the arch creating a seal. I’ve got a few ideas but if anyone knows the correct way let me know [THUMBS UP SIGN]

Re: Project Lenny our brilliant orange bustoration
That's the same question I was asking, got the repair panel, got an engine floor section with an extension out to the wing, how to fix them together

Re: Project Lenny our brilliant orange bustoration
Oh wait, hang on, I got some pics earlier this year from a lovely panel van at a show. I went with a guy from Schofields to show him what I needed before he made the engine floor piece.
Any good ?

Re: Project Lenny our brilliant orange bustoration
Exactly........ but does your repair panel have the lip on, mine doesn't

Re: Project Lenny our brilliant orange bustoration
Been a busy lad tonight, done some repairs to the arch and finished off the section above the rail. Needs filling and finishing but it’s solid and straight for now. Well happy with the progress so far

Re: Project Lenny our brilliant orange bustoration
Cheers mate yeah it’s a good little mig set I had never done any mig before this van only stick welding previously. Im slowly getting the hand of it. I used .6mm wire for the first time today and I think it’s so much better and easier. Hopefully it’ll all be welded up shortly got my new offside sill and lower panel today so I can now finish off that side

Re: Project Lenny our brilliant orange bustoration
Update from today with regards to the arch all went to plan made a piece shaped it arround the arch lined it up to the repair wing panel then tacced it into place and now tack the repair panel to the arch piece from the inside. Then loads of seam sealant. Should be sound
