No paints or primers yet Jon. Just two coats of hydrate80 rust killer:)

Tonight saw us start to close off the n/s arch. Did more than this but I forgot to take pictures.

Also fitted one more piece to that. And Robert done some filling on the o/s arch that I forgot to take pictures of. Will get some tomorrow!

Oh also that stuff on the wing is called cold front. It's supposed to stop the panel from warping with the heat of welding. It's better than the other side but still warped a little:(

Which very quickly went down hill into rather a large hole!

But soon started taking shape.

Absolutely over the moon with progress so far:D
