The front end has
now been securely welded on, had a good pull
around and its rock solid! probably better than it
ever was.
The old sills
were removed, tons of rubbish pulled out and all
cleaned back and hammerited with rust beating
primer. It was found that the either the
brake or clutch master cylinders is leaking its
fluid into the drivers footwell which has speeded
rusting in that area hence a few patch panels were
welded in. The leak will be sourced and
fixed soon.
We couldn't believe
the old sills though, which were just over sills
welded on quickly, not even painted, they were
still in the original black like our new panels,
they had just put some awful rubberized paint on
the underside, no protection at all really!
terrible! hence why the inside of the outer sill
is all rusted and would have gone through soon, in
the pic below.
Also the bottom
of the rear panel behind the drivers door was
patched up as this had rusted through but not as
bad as the other side.
The rubber bush
for the cone in pic one below has come apart from
its joint and is loose, i assume this shouldn't
be, will be fixed.
note, all welding
is to be tidied up and grinded down smooth, we
are just getting stuff in and fixed at the moment.
