Just gone over this thread, top job I have to say... The left rear quarter rot is a blight of all Ph2 cars, mainly 5dr though as well as any age SW, from what I've seen. I believe it comes from the lack of an arch liner, not sure why or if a Ph1 liner will fit but both of our Ph2 XS's have just got a shitload of waxoyl for the time being (fortunately the white one was clean before it sat for many years and was great, the orange one spent most of it's life in a museum too).
Haven't seen a repair as well executed as yours, serious kudos for the effort you & your mate put in there! Most folk (well, at least myself!) would've settled for ugly & boxy but strong. To say you're not panel beaters is to do yourselves a disservice IMO, turned out really nicely. Really liking the way it looks, although the banded steels suit it best to my eye (To me Bianca White = Metallic Black 'clones or White round-hole steels A-La Rallye). Seeing how well the paint came up, has got me almost in the mood to go start buffing our white one.... Almost!
