Here's the next group of photos I've received on the restoration of my B.  These photos stretch from November to Mid January.  Except for the first one obviously.  Nothing too exciting in these photos.  Mostly they just show the numerous pin hole rust spots that had to be removed as they worked on the body.  I'll try to describe the photos as best I can, but some of them I've got no clue where they're located.
First off.  A before shot  This was how she looked when I dropped her off before heading out for England.

These next shots are the pin holes.  Mostly before shots, but there are a couple of shots showing work in progress and after shots.

These next 6 were all taken late October, early November.
This shows the rust on the seam between the right rear quarter panel and the rear of the car.

Pin hole rust through.  This time between the rear quarter panel and the cockpit bay.

More rust spots found.

More again.

Right rear area between the cockpit and the boot lip, with some of the quarter panel joint rust visible.

This shows a tear out on the lip around the engine bay.
 

These next series were taken December/January.  They are mostly work in progress pictures.

These next were taken after Christmas and show more of the same.

These next couple are all the same area. This shows the passenger side floor pan and the repairs done to the toe in front of the floor pan and the transmission tunnel next to the floor pan.

This is the drivers side floor.

Remember those holes cut for speakers in the front wings?

These are more rust repairs.

One of the snags that they ran into was the right hand door.  Originally they thought that they would just have to replace the skin on it.  But when they took the skin off they found too much rust to make it worth while.  So, they found a good used door assembly.  This shot shows the plate they welded to the inside under the wing mirror.  That should prevent the dreaded door crack that is so common.  By the way, does anybody need a brand new OEM door skin?

These next shots almost make it all worth the wait.  These were all take about 3 weeks ago.

These next 3 shots and the one above were taken during my mechanics "thumb" period.

You might recognise this door as the door assembly shown above.  The one we replaced the old one with.
