grunta Posted February 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 Just dropped off some Vg steels to Halcrow engineering for 2" bands WooHOo! Also have uncovered some butchery, there is a false floor barely tacked and mostly gooed in over the origional floor pan which going to be replaced, seems weird someone would go to all the effort to fix it/ cover it up like that when fixing it properly wouldn't have taken alot more effort! also some fun time rust in sill left side and inside a piller . Pics to come 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grunta Posted March 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 Recently I've rebuilt my steering box , had a "bolt in replacement" but the bolt holes were 1/2 " futher apart so must have been out or a different model. Anyway took out the internals from the not fucked new 1 and put them in origional housing with some new needle roller bearings and a seal... yae the sector shaft now dosn't move laterally 3 mm Now for sill rust , just 1 side , went on discovery adventure with angle grinder 1mm skim coat of bog dust through out garage Where they brazed on the Wagon to a sedan body can see old repairs stitched in front half of sill , hence all the bog The inside of the bottom of the A piller is also rusty , hopefully can replace it when i have the sill off... Floor pan still to come - turns out false floor (galv sheet metal) tacked in with pigeon shit over top of origional floor was a dumb idea from previous owner... not looking forward to what i find under it also need to figure out a good way to get the worlds supply of underseal off the underside... im thinking Liquid Nitrogen?? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post grunta Posted July 24, 2016 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 started on the sill rust , has a good productive thursday ( had the day off with no kids , grinding all morning then went to work and made some replacement panels) few tricky bits but shouldnt be too bad. this the bottom of the a piller, rusted out from the inside, looks bad but have a plan of how to weld new steel in this part will be welded in to bottom of a piller, made a cut in the bottom of part( the 200x40 cut ) so i can weld from under car (inner side of the inside of A pillar) and also from the inside of the car/foot well(to weld to outer of the inside of A pillar) then will patch the cut. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
