Right time for a long overdue update, this car really is pretty bad. Should have reshelled it into my mint black 2.0 ghia shell but oh well wheres the fun in that?
Anyway, front floor welded up.
Found more grot on the gearbox tunnel
Now time to tackle the inner and outer sills
Had to cut about an inch into the floor to get rid of the rust
Had a bit of head scratching trying to work out how i was going to repair this part, as im not willing to spend £250 on a new pair of inner sills. The plan i came up with was using two 1 meter inchxinch right angle sections welded together to make a t section. Did it and it worked properly, cost me £12.
Welded in perfectly
Bit of primer to protect it from the weather
Found more!
Gone
Now was the time for the rear arches
Repair to the inner
Inner and outer cut out
Inner was just as bad as the outer so i cut it all out and welded in new
Welded in and ground down
The car is living outside for the moment so it needed protection, it also had a crease under the fuel filler cap so repaired the whole area.
Few coats of high build primer
Guide coated and unmasked
Thats upto date, but nice to see some primer going on her.
More updates soon.
