I've been busy metal glueing this week. My Mindy tub had been eaten by rust beatles so I purchased all new panels and glued em all together ...

PS, its still in two halves cos I'm going to bolt it the chassis first to make sure its all square before I weld it up

So which bit is original?
Looks like a nice job, I love stuff like this................which is why I've done it for a living for the last 22 years...

Non of what ya can see there, I rebuilt the whole thing from scratch. I was going to keep the original front end and just replace the rear but when I separated the front floor there was rust running through the seam. I chased it all the way into the front cowl    so I bit the bullet and ordered the rest of the tub panels.

just out of interest what was the parts cost? only ask cos we saw a full tub with bonnet, grill and wings at the WnP show for £1600 and it seemed a good price

That was a good price, I was quoted that for just the tub last year. I paid just under 1K for the loose panels, so I saved myself a few quid 

That's what I thought, jolly good show that man! 

Cheers, I'm quite pleased with meself
