Thanks guys. We've both been bad for a couple of weeks and I can honestly say I've never felt so ill during the first week of it[xx(] Couldn't breath, didn't want to eat, totally washed out - I'm still having withdrawal symptoms after coming off the Beechams Hot Lemon;)

Finally picked up the seats I got off Commerchris at Commerfest (only two and a half years ago:I) from storage in Macker1's garage[8)] After a good scrubbing with Autoglym caravan cleaner (smells just like 'Panky's Amerzin Vikleen' for those who remember ;)) I think they are ready to be installed in Bonnie[8D]

Sunbeam Rapier or Alpine I think[8D] Autosleeper modified them to fit the Commer as an optional extra on their conversions[^]

Remarkably it's stayed dry for the last couple of days so I've cracked on with the valance.
Drivers side cleaned up and Aquasteeled, found one small hole so I drilled it out and called it a drain:)

Seam welded and dressed up ready for final finishing off. Also did a couple of little repairs on Bonnie's 'mouth'

Thanks guys[8)]
It helps when you don't have to go too far to find good metal to weld to and the fact that the replacement panels fitted perfectly without any trimming or modification - thanks Mr M:)

Bonnie's chin job is done:) Plenty of dressing up and a tiny bit of filler here and there, and a batch of Rattan Beige mixed for the final coat[8D] Should have gone to Homebase like Topgear to get the paint matched;)

Not a spot or scab in sight[^]

Just a couple of little dents I managed to make with the welding clamps[8)]

I've also de-pinstriped the bumper, it's waiting for a coat of paint before re-fitting
