    Here in deepest darkest west Wales we still have plenty of feckin' rain .....
    So in a kind of out of sequence job we got on with making the barn doors into a tailgate, as you do
    Incase I hadn't made it clear, I'm cutting up the old girl into a pickup. Extending the wheel base , shortening front and back overhangs.
    Part of the job was cutting up the barn doors to make them into a drop down tailgate.
    Sooo, I set about the door strip down .

    Then repeat on little door . Pushed together for a trial looksee at gaps etc

    Happy with that so welding it is then

    Many hours disappeared on this job, but as it was pissing down big style we didn't mind so much.

    Eventually a little bit of origami metalwork and another small hole filled

    More spray weld through primer and jigsaw piece done

    and on and on filling hinge holes etc till we eventually got this far

    Got a few little screw holes to fill then body filler then prime etc etc
    Loads more to do just on this bit, like find some hinges ??
    Hardly any patrols round here , never mind pick ups, so finding hinges could be fun
