That looks like a quality repair job your doing there. No messing about trying to repair it like some people would.

Great work!

Glad we could save her

While fitting used 1/4 isn't something we like to do. Sometime cost dictates what you do.

All in all she's come out well. Even had a quick machine polish and wax to revive the rest of the body
