Popular Post BigA Posted March 2 Author Popular Post Posted March 2 Got frustrated with the doors today due to the issues I have been finding as i have been doing the repairs. Metal is way to thin in lots of places so I am blowing holes through the metal even on the lowest setting on my MIG welder. Going to go back to my original option of getting the 4 doors that I had seen on Yahoo. Basically the doors are all warped right on the edges and issues on each of them that I have decided not to continue to try and repair them. I will focus on the lower sills and any internal structural rust that I have found and come back to external panels later. 11 Quote
BigA Posted March 23 Author Posted March 23 I have been stripping out the interior as of late and sandblasting some of the surface rust that I have found. Also annoyed that the bolts for the front seats are located underneath the body and only one at the top on each side of the rear. 4 Quote
BigA Posted March 23 Author Posted March 23 Stripped off the paint in the rear tailgate area a d only found a little bit of rust on the lip that holds the rubber in place. But the bottom of the panel is pretty warped so will have to sort that out. Also been trying to find out if there is meant to be a panel at the bottom as it looks unfinished when looking at it currently. 4 Quote
BigA Posted March 24 Author Posted March 24 So I found out yesterday that the back panel at the bottom finishes like that after one of the guys from AUS confirming it over FaceTime. Also noted that the tailgate on mine has a metal inner piece where it should be fabric. Will need to investigate that further. Also the bottom of the tailgate on mine has some riveted on metal that I assumed was factory and to find out it's not. More dodgey repairs by the looks of things and I'm scared to find out what's underneath. 3 Quote
Popular Post BigA Posted May 11 Author Popular Post Posted May 11 Bloody Aussie repairs. Hey let's rivet a piece of galv metal over this really large piece of rust, no one will know. Looks like this whole bottom section will need to be replaced. 7 1 2 3 Quote
BigA Posted May 22 Author Posted May 22 Got one of my badges ceramic coated in titanium which is the colour I want to for all my trim and I have to say it looks pretty good. Will be a nice contrast against the paint colours 7 Quote
