So...next update!
Before taking care of the bottom of the passenger rear quarter, I thought I will see what I can do with the top part with the holes and dents:
I first planished it roughly with hammer and dollies:
And welded the holes shut. Some smoothing left but already way better:
Then I decided to continue on the firewall..first taking care of this old terrible repair:
I decided to replace this part:
Making a template:
And the patch :
Cut out the wrong repair:
Adjusting:
Welding:
Et voilą:
And in between, I had noticed that the floor was also repaired with metal over rust, what I can't stand so I also fixed that:
How it was:
Starting the shape:
Verifying the fit:
Whole shape:
Test-fitting:
Cutting and adjusting:
And welded:
I did not over-grind it..the weld is under the front part of the firewall and robustness is more important!
Stay tuned, I have more to share!
