Yeah, mines full qld rego and lhd still as well. Funny you say that, I was out in it Friday arvo and someone hit me up to buy it! This one’s a keeper though.

The challenger is more of a keeper!
 
I've been procrastinating for a while now on working on the drivers side wheel tub. There's been an ugly repair to it, that just hasn't been sitting well with me. It's not a big job, a little fiddly but it was enough to look for other things to do. Which I'm kind of running out of excuses. The wheel tubs are holding up the next big burst of progress, getting me closer to having the panels back on.

The front flange of the trunk lid support was ok. The other two where very rusty. I templated up a patch from the underside and through a combination of hammer forming into a shot bag and then english wheeling I got close enough to the shape that I was happy. Cut out the rusty part with a healthy margin. By the time I cleaned up the side and rear flange of the trunk lid support I had to cut off and weld on new flanges.
TIG welded it in place and unfortunately ran out of weekend to do anymore. Still needs the welds cleaned up and planished. Then shape the new flanges to the new patch and spot weld the flanges down. Lots of procrastination for something that turned out not to be all that challenging in the end ...
