i got the passenger side inner arch in position and then had to make a massive notch in it for the final fuse box location 😁

so up to the shed today for a while and something that has been bugging me since we moved in to that shed is i have so many tools still packed away in storage from my last shed

one that’s definitely been missed is my bead roller

so me and the wee man made a stand for it and got it bolted to the floor with enough space to work around it

then i took the passenger wing off so i can start to make the rest off the A pillar to inner arch structure

few budweiser box templates and we have a inner panel

so that’s the start off the last welding / metal work / panels 😜 hopefully half a dozen weekends and the wee man will be an expert on the bead roller 😂

so it got too warm and we went home for a barbecue 👍
