I had to remove my left front window box to gain access to the area under the window and assess the big freaking hole. Looks like someone used a P-38 can opener on the body panel. I also found the metal was very thin with several pin holes. I thought about dealing with the holes individually, but decided the most efficient way was with one large patch. I could not find a shop near me to make a patch, so I made one myself out of 18 gauge with some hammer and dolly work. The black line under the patch is body panel adhesive.

very nice job!

That does look really good. Nice!

When I see what some folks have had to do to restore their Carry-Alls I res=alise how fortunate I have been with my one. Awesome job Adam!!

G,Day When i first sighted your wc53 i said then that you were a very iucky kiwi .Yours was all there and very little rust .Me and Ian J had to scour the earth trying to find pieces for our Carryall,s ..Our,s were like a big jig saw puzzle . Having not pulled them apart ourselfs ,we had trouble putting them back together . Ian J,s is still in the resto process . Probably be in this state for the next couple of years . Very lucky Kiwi .

Ray, you should have seen the yard of the guy I bought it from. He had two complete Carryalls, a nearly done Command car, an M38 Jeep, a 5-ton truck, and two shipping containers full of parts.. including an NOS windshield assembly!

Very nice!!!
