Right time for another update but im affraid its all bad news....!!!

Time to attack the ROT.... so as you all know most of the rot was at the a pillar so it was going to be screen out (it was cracked anyway) door off and rubbers off to see the damage....





last time car was taxed....!!!



Screen out....







Then it was time for the door to come off....



This what was behind the rubber and door....after attacking it with the nail gun...







After having a bit of a discussion with the bodyshop owner it was time to cut out the bad rust on the pillar and weld in some new metal...





The affending piece of metal flattened to make a template from...







after maiking the template up i thought it would be good ideal to take the side skirt off to to make sure everything is ok under there... (im glad i did)





Lets say its not the 1st time this side skirt has come off... It looks like the car has had some reapair work before and not really the best of jobs done... Anyway back to the A pillar

Plate been welded back in....







Sanded alot of the welds down for a neater finish then sprayed in welding paint ready for the next bit to be tacked on top....



also was a slight small hole at top of pillar but that was easy enough just to braize up...



After that it was time to look to possibly prepping the window surround ready for the new window.... BUT at the top lip of the window was starting to got a bit manky the boss said just to get a better finish might as well get rid of that and paint the roof at the same time.





So after that more attention turnt to getting the sill preped





After alot of sanding down from the old repair job the boss decided it would be a better job if if was just to put a new sill on the car so thats what the next thing to do is going to be....

So nearing the end of the 2nd day it was time to take the car back to the garage as no room down the bodyshop...





And finally before i put her back in the garage....
