Well hopefully Monday (weather permitting) the old filler hole will be plated and all lovely ready for some paint

Enjoying the journey mate, what type of LPG system is fitted and ever any head gasket problems. I had a Bigas system fitted to my P38 and head gasket went costing me a fortune to repair.
Cheers.

Well the rusty hole from the old filler is a thing of the past.....Chris did a great job of letting a new piece of metal into the hole. Hopefully a skim of filler and paint it'll be good as new

David, I have noticed the hole which was causing my boot to fill with water has been leaking on yours too! Its the hole to the right of the boot vent (viewed from in the boot), you will find its a bit of sticky tape over a hole.

Here's the N/S one-

yes, I notices the brown stain too....I've got some seam sealer and will blob some on it...but well done for spotting it

Is there not a proper oval grommet that will fit these holes?

The problem is the bumper mount sits on the other side flush with the rear wing...hence the tape.

No idea what the hole is even used for...

Well having sorted out Champion daddy, thought I'd better tidy up the rear panel after the welding.

It's a huge improvement, but still needs some more work prior to painting.
