While waiting for the chassis leg to arrive scraping continued with the rest of the car, the other rear chassis leg was scraped back and though not brilliant was in a lot better condition than the other side



eventually the whole car was scraped of sealant and could look at what was lurking underneath





so more bits of rust



more bits flattened by quick fit fitters



and more bits we'll cover as we go along by the time this point had been reached chassis leg was here and work began on removing the old one. As the full section was being replaced and the car was currently located on the jig via the chassis leg the car was blocked up on wood to hold its weight while the leg was removed




Once any rock in the car had gone set about like the front wings wire brushing along the chassis leg to find the spot welds which where then marked up clearly




where possiable the centres where punched to help the spot weld drill locate and each spot weld was then drilled out





where access proved difficult sections of the leg where removed to make things a bit easier




eventually after a fair bit of messing around and banging the leg was removed from the car



and again because nobody can resist th new piece was put roughly into place to make sure it would fit directly on



It did and so the next part was welding the new leg onto the car
