|
|
|
2018-01 First part to be fixed in the boot floor. The shortest part cut, bent and welded in. |
2018-01 Small part between filler and right cut out welded in and the discovered that the boot floor is very thin around here so more steel to be replaced |
2018-01 Part of the floor welded in and just some smal bits missing on that side |
|
|
|
2018-01 Second lane of sheet metal bent and welded in. Just the last part left now and the floor will be ok |
