Nice work as usual Nick, are you riveting the panels together here and then welding through the rivets? Or clamping the panels? If clamping how are you doing it?

braved the bitter cold today & repaired a small piece in the front floor, this is due to the mounting box rotting away years ago & a plate tacked on from underneath which i've removed to repair correctly

Image001 by A40 FARINA's, on Flickr

the nose of the inner sill & bulkhead side both need a small repair at the bottom
