nels Posted March 31, 2020 Author Share Posted March 31, 2020 Finally got the front clip off..was a bit of a mission drilling out all the spot welds and there is a panel that runs inside the fender that attaches to the side of the firewall that I wanted to keep as it seals up that area but you need to carefully pry it away and cut the spot welds without wrecking it. does make things so much easier to work on and best of all it is really light. the other bonus was it revelled a couple of really bad rust spots that I wouldn’t of known about until further down the track. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nels Posted April 16, 2020 Author Share Posted April 16, 2020 Finally got the sides all cleaned up and rust repairs done. welded a tab to the bottom of the pillar that bolts to the bottom of the fender to help pull it all in-line. Uses a small round Allen key bolt that will be painted the same colour as the car. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nels Posted September 27, 2020 Author Share Posted September 27, 2020 Car is now in a few peices and the chassis rails are all fully welded through on the inside. Im going to weld the roll bar in at this stage to make it a bit easier and then finish up the rest of the floor. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
