If you rough up the gal the POR 15 will stick to it ...no problem. Remember to clean the gal with acetone or metal prep after the sanding . The sikaflex is an amazing stuff. it takes a little longer to cure but it's forever. I remember Sikaflex being around in the sixties when my dad was in the auto repair trade.....good stuff then !

Hi Rob,

I started on it today. Took the side intrusion bars off and gave them a sand with an 80grit flap wheel. The gal was pretty thin so a lot of it actually sanded off. I have drilled some holes in the face to give the sikaflex a key and then painted it with POR15.

Whilst the paint was drying i spent the rest of the day adding fibreglass to parts of the door skins that were too small. Slow drying day for fibreglass with the cool weather. Tomorrow i will be able to trim the outer skin to fit the door jam correctly and then i can glue it on.

Will put up some pics when its done.
