Windscreen rust repairs and rear arches.

Finally got Thomas back from the body shop with a much lighter wallet.

I had them remove the windscreen and address the rusted areas. Also to do the same to the rear lower arches.

The screen side trims had been held in with screws instead of the captive rivets and i also assume there was some paint damaged whilst taking the old one out due to other rust spots. Only point I wasn't sure on was welding up the rivet holes and then using screen fix to hold the trims back, but I figured if needed this could be undone.

The rear arches have been trimmed back and peices made to fit, then finished with paint and a top coat of Kent rubber guard.
