[jury]

This might be obvious, but I couldn't work out how to clamp down the two panels together and I didn't fancy making the worlds biggest C-clamp. So I drilled through both panels using the last spot weld hole as a guide, and also drilled through the brace in the transmission tunnel (there was actually already a hole in the brace), then bolted the panels together. After some 'gentle' hammering the gap was acceptable to weld, simple but effective.










However I still hate grinding! the only way to get any purchase on the grinder was to climb inside the shell whilst on the rotisserie. It had abit of a lean on at one point and thought that a carpet set can't weigh that much did cross my mind! (the idea is to have a bare painted interior).
