Three photos above show how they looked before.Well I bought all the parts needed, rubber seals, dust covers, new pin set and of course new brake shoes. After dismantling the caliper bodies, I sand-blasted them and nicely sprayed them with heat resistant paint and then started mounting all the pieces back together.

Now, all front panels are bolted in place, still the front valance and headlight rings are not welded. In the picture above I' m trying on the headlights to measure the alignment of the nose. I didn't know on which page to post the photos of the new battery tray, so here it is.My friend Makis working at an agricultural machinery construction factory has at his disposal profesional equipment to give shape to metal. He helped me out many times. I take sheets of steel to him, he cuts them to the desired dimensions and then gives shape to them by cornering the edges as desired. Well he did his thing once again and now it is my turn to give round shape to the corners of the tray.

Photo on the left : another view of the sandblasted parts, you can see the perimeter of the cut off inside wing piece drawn with a marker.Photo on the right : The new inside wing part is now welded into place, including a part of the rear part of the crossmember. They are also primered in this photo.

Picture on the left: replaced the inside of the corner.Picture on the right: also replaced the outside of the rusty corner, after many hours of measuring cutting metal, and shaping the steel sheet. Came out quite nice. Forgot to take some more photos during the procedure, I 'll do it on another door.

And now new panels need to be fabricated (ready made panels are bigger in size than what we need and much too expensive in some cases). Of course some parts must be bought although after market panels are not very well-fitting and still some fabricating has to be done. so in places not seen, such us the underbody, there is not always the need to buy panels.
