This post is a short update and will not feature much in the way of photographic documentation I'm afraid. I have not been as diligent with my camera as I should be. Following the O/S rear chassis and inner wheel tub repairs ( see previous post ), I turned my attention to the new inner arch panels. These pressings look great and come highly recommended. It has been my plan for a good while to use these as the structure from which to rebuild the whole of the rear quarters, but (surprise, surprise) I have hit some problems. The first issue seems to be with the fit to the outer arches. I have new repair sections for these and so I thought that the best way to start would be to offer these up together, expecting them to clip together precisely; if only. I spent an entire day measuring, making card templates and trying to work out how they might marry up. I can tell you that the radius of the inner repair is not by default the same as the outer. This threw me completely....
After more than 20 years lying buried and forgotten in a damp and dusty garage, my 1970 Volvo Amazon has been dragged out into the light. But will it ever play the guitar again?
