Triangles and Sides...

Next up was the toe board. I righted the shell and supported it back on axle stands, with a large block of wood underneath, near the tunnel to help support the door gaps.

I followed in Ray McCaLeb's footsteps and decided to box in the toe board with a triangle patch. It seemed like a good idea!

I cut a panel to match the toe board dimensions and a small triangle to fill in the end.

Once welded on i moved on to the foot well side panel. Ive actually replaced this twice as the first attempted failed miserably and was way out of place! So i bought a new panel and did it properly

The sidewall was simply lined up to the foot well top and front, and the scuttle/a-post area.

I lined it up with the scuttle and tacked it on, then tacked it to the triangle of the toe board before slowly seam welding the join to the front and top of the foot well.

Its all starting to feel like I'm making progress. Its always a relief to get new metal back on, especially when you don't know what your doing like me!

An invaluable resource throughout my project has been the MG BBS. There's a great bunch of guys how really know their stuff and seem mostly willing to help!
