Progress is going
well with the new air vent panel all fixed in
and the rest of it patched up.
The under scuttle
little panel had to made up and caused a bit of
a headache but its in there in the end, to seal
the scuttle up.
We hung the door
using the new hinge panel and air vent panel,
after bolting up the test came when we came to
open it... would it drop... Nope.. rock solid,
a lovely firm finish and we even rocked the car
using the door, and the door shut perfectly in
line. amazing :-)
We found that not
much of the drivers floor was actually attached
to the rest of the body, large holes as you can
see this was covered in filler, all cleaned back
and a patch will go in for this. Its the
usual though with a project, you always find more
as you go along!
Decided to rub
down the small rust patched on the drivers door
we have and found that the skin had rusted through,
might get patched or filled, not sure yet, as
its on a difficult part to patch, right at the
bottom. Found the reason for this though,
they had over greased the door mechanism which
fell to the bottom of the door and created a sort
of pocket for the water to sit in against the
skin and thus rust it out. So will clear
this away so the water can run out of the drain
holes easily.
note, all welding
is to be tidied up and grinded down smooth, we
are just getting stuff in and fixed at the moment.
