Some of the welding parts are quite difficult to make without having a cardboard model. The trickiest part is the one in the corner of the backseat, around the heaterchannel. I pray for this part to be reproduced by someone very soon, because it's a pain in the ass to make. For now I have made it, but for the next(?) project it would help a lot. Drawing, cutting and taping... Kindergarden for grownups =)

Rear apron
I removed the rear apron as well, because I will change it for a H-type and make it removable. This is toget easy access to the engine, and make removal and fitting easier. Removing the apron revealed more rust. Both end pieces with the bumperbrackets will be replaced. More parts to order from Woffe =)
Keep on struggeling
Last night I cut out a pile of rust again. The heaterchannels doesn't stand a chance when someone put insulation materials in them many years ago. It had soked up a lot of moisture, and of course rusted like hell. I manage to remove all of the rust and started making new welding parts... Not to forget removing the old undercarriage material on the innerwing, that took half the night... But now it's gone forever =)
