Jusepy82 Posted January 12 Author Share Posted January 12 Tonight I decided to tackle the next part of the left hand front guard. Chipped away at the bog and found this masterpiece underneath the 5mm of bog. Brilliant. Ohwell fun and games. I'm sipping my beer in the shed deciding how to tackle this. Maybe a cut and butt from fitzee. Mm 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jusepy82 Posted January 19 Author Share Posted January 19 Finished work early yesterday so decided to crack into making this patch for the left hand guard. So while consuming some beers in the shed and melting , I had a go at it and I'm pretty happy with it. I follow 'Dave's garage ' on youtube and he is one clever mother fucker. I have learnt so much from watching his mk 1 escort build. Anyway here is the result , yet to be welded in and that's another challange. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jusepy82 Posted January 20 Author Share Posted January 20 Well tonight I decided to weld the patch panel in Not sure if I'm happy with it but will sleep on it. Still have to finish the bottom of the patch and also make an inside flange for the wing Fitch panel to fit into. I also took to it with a dolly and a panel hammer to try and sort out the low spots. Might give it a weld from the inside to get ultimate penetration. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jusepy82 Posted February 18 Author Share Posted February 18 Alittle bit of progress over the last few weeks. Repaired a hole in the left hand guard I found. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jusepy82 Posted February 18 Author Share Posted February 18 Bare metalled the whole guard as I was unsure of the condition of it under all of the bog and paint. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Jusepy82 Posted February 18 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 18 Found alittle rust hole and the panel is pretty lumpy and uneven. I will be smoothing it out with my hammer and dolly but it's only the front half by the bumper that is uneven. Pretty stoked with how good it is really. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
