Alright, time for an update
Still thrilled about the MSOTM. When looking at other threads in the Automotive Projects -section, mine seems a bit like a "patchwork" project Anyway, it's motivating to share, not least due to the encouragement from you guys. Not a whole lot have happened since last update, but I have had the chance to work on the car a few saturdays. First workday after christmas I forgot some of the patches I've prepared, so I started looking at the floor pans. Looking at the floor from a distance they look okay. But light shines through several pinholes, pitted bad in some areas and previous poor repairs needs attention. I dabbled with the though of trying to shape a new left and right side from scratch (thats why you see all the permanent marker on the following pictures). But i decided against it as time is a problem and I rather focus elsewhere. I've found a good right side floor pan from another car, that I'll fit. Left side is going to be patched: First an easy bit Tagged, welded and a coat of primer. I'll be planishing a bit when next patch is welded in as well I like the clear plastic film for templating as one can see details through it, but paper works better for me when shrink/stretch is involved. Roughed in. Taking it with me home to refine it a bit more before I cut out the old metal Next is the area where the seat mounts to the floor. What you see hee is the reinforcement bracket welded into the floor instead of a patch - lazy bastard Supposed to be spot welded to the floor from underneath. A new bracket was sourced And patch shaped I found it quite tricky to fit tight enough for TIG with all the different planes involved That's what I've managed so far. But I do have some pictures of one of the first job I approached - the front (slam panel/head light mount). The old one was bad and disintegrated upon removal. Some of the slam panel can be reused. I did what I was comfortable with - carefully measuring and recreating in CAD. These are the some of the parts: Notice dimple dies - those were 3D printed. Easy peasy to do weird shape dimples that recreates the original exactly, like the triangular or oval ones here. I think I've shown before, but once draw in CAD it easy to print in 1:1 and spray glue to the metal sheet Before I had a bead roller. Groove cut in a scrap piece of aluminium and a ball cut with a knife on a broken hammer handle as a punch Worked okay Back side reinforcemenf for slam panel Finished parts The slam panel corners needs repair. Here's the old next to the finished product I had no luck making it by hand as its pretty small. So I cheated with a 3D print again Press tool drawn in CAD and printed 5 mm old drill bit shank for guide pins Size of press tool made so that it doubles as hammer form for flanges. Just hammer it over when in the press Some flanges needed replacement as well I've yet to assemble it. The old complete panel was too bad to get good measurements from - I've since acquire a NOS panel. But I intend to finish it and use the NOS to get my measurement/alignment from.
