4AGEMAD Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Fully appreciate how much of a c@#t pushing out your rear guards is to do. did you end up plug welding the old spot welds in the lip? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepers Posted April 5, 2015 Author Share Posted April 5, 2015 Not yet. Nothing is welded yet but hopefully if today goes to plan I'll have it finished by tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westy Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Fully appreciate how much of a c@#t pushing out your rear guards is to do. Yup, a right pain in the arse. Looking good though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d.p.n.s Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Mate you have some amazing Toyotas that you have built...so I'm very much interested in this build. Keep it up man 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azzurro Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 bleugh. stupid crappy PO repairs. i think the worst part of them is all the old bog dust that gets everywhere and through everything and makes lying down in it again the next day depressing. new bog dust from block sanding & prep that you do, while a totally sucky job, is somehow uplifting and fragrant in comparison. may you soon be hacking up new bog dust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajg193 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Why do you have a light in your guard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepers Posted April 7, 2015 Author Share Posted April 7, 2015 bog dust. its one of those smells that you both love and hate. mainly hate. and yes, the light in the boot is for rearward lighting and boot enlightenment. not really its just a light that has fallen down into the well in the boot. you can see into the boot now that I've cut the inner skin away.

Valiant Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 The sad thing is someone will have paid a lot of money to get their sill smashed in like that. How do you find tig welding rust repairs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepers Posted April 7, 2015 Author Share Posted April 7, 2015 yea that's what i was thinking, someone more that likely paid for this to be done. but, i reckon they "shopped around" and got the lowest price they could find and this is the result. tig welding repairs isn't as easy as mig that's for sure but i can get by with the tig.

Stu Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I really enjoy seeing photos of rust repairs for two reasons. 1) Its nice to see life breathed back into a rusty doomer, and 2) its not me doing it. Well done sir. Tig welding repairs is actually pretty good. I had to do some repairs rebuild all the panneling around some tail lights the other week and the tig worked really well.

sheepers Posted April 7, 2015 Author Share Posted April 7, 2015 ha! there's nothing like seeing rust being repaired when its not you that has to do it! and tig has its pros and cons i suppose. im just used to it and ive set myself up to work with it so its al good for me. i can see how some people would think im mad though.

Ghostchips Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 The sad thing is someone will have paid a lot of money to get their sill smashed in like that. My theory is sills get creased in on curbing and filled with bog is the result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dell'orto Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Dammit, how do you get such nice square cuts out of panels? I seem to have an uncanny knack of making them wavy every. fucking. time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheepers Posted April 8, 2015 Author Share Posted April 8, 2015 Dammit, how do you get such nice square cuts out of panels? I seem to have an uncanny knack of making them wavy every. fucking. time. use the cut off wheel as a guide. cut into the panel straight inwards, like at 90 degrees to the panel, then cut with the leading edge of the wheel. it will try to climb so you have to have a good hold on the grinder but doing it this way you can see your line heaps better and you can see the whole flat of the wheel and see that its parallel with what you've already cut. make sense? thats how i do it anyway and it works for me. make sure you have the guard on your grinder too, only a moron would use an angle grinder without a guard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
