Mr T goes to Oxford

So I purchased another project even though I already have two project house's and three project cars.

So I purchased two vehicles for $229 one with rego on hold 

I still have to pick up the bodies but I have brought home two car loads and one trailer of the junk.

I have already rebuilt a spare carb and made sure the engine ran ok while on the trailer.

So here is a upside down door with rust.

Other side

So I cut into the outer skin to cut the large bit so I welded them but found the lead skim coat that was under the bog skim coat

I brought one home

There's not much holding the B pillar on obviously the rubber gasket between cab and rear was a bad idea.

I will get the other body home before I decide if they are too far gone.

Anyway back to the door, I cut up a e46 bmw for this patch to save on bending time

I don't like lead. I thought I ground enough away, obviously not.

But also finding more rust under the lead

[MRT1TRD]

So on the other corner the outer skin looks good but with a skim coat of pb since the other corner seemed thin under the lead I ground it back to find lots of rust holes. 

Before I started I thought it would be easier to cut the lower 75mm of the skin off rather than infolding the edge to repair the inner. Maybe next time.

There is down side to owning multiple homes, things that you want can be at the other house when you want them. So I own a panel folder but have to improvise like I used to.

Another weekend and another collection of rust

There might be a golden trail of rust between pick up and my house
