FHC resto nr. 11; Hole plugged ...

A short update on the progress of the body-work on the FHC. The boot area is almost sorted, with the donor boot floor welded in place.


But it wasn't as straight forward as it looks. With the old panels still in place it was obvious that there was something wrong. And with all panels removed and after taking some measurements it turned out that the rear of the right hand chassis leg was pointing about half an inch outwards from where it should be. But with all panels already removed that was easy to rectify.

Another problem was that the spare-wheel-well and the boot floor, as a complete panel, couldn't be fitted back to car. There just wasn't enough room to manoeuvre it back in place. So that was taken back to its original parts, which were than separately welded back in. At least this enabled us to get a much better alignment for all panels, in comparison to the factory finish ...
