Fluffiefaerie's Mini Project

Welding Started

Pictures Provided by sssstew

The big stripdown of everything started and finished this week, as you can see in the pics.

Other holes were found! and some patches were welded in, like the rear panel and boot holes.

The petrol tank was removed to find that the suspension was simply mounted on fibreglass patches!! which just fell away with a tap, and another hole in the floor was found under the tank.

Couple of questions for those that know :- in the second row of pics how does this plate fix in, note that the hinges have been welded on as there was no hinge plate at all (rusted away, we will grind off the old hinges) anyway how does this replacement panel fit? 
is it welded to the flat surface where the old hinges are? (we think its this)
or does it slide in behind like in pic 1? where the lip of the replacement panel slides in behind where the hinges are welded to?

And, can you get replacement air vent panels?
