I managed to work some hours on it this week!

I disassemble my new to me outer suspension console and cleaned/blasted it :




The inside showed only some surface rust :


Except these small holes:




That I welded shut :


I then treated the inside with some rust protection :


And some paint.. won't move anymore !!


Then after 1000 measurements, checking, positioning,....I welded the inner suspension console ! (And the small bracket for the brake line):




And treated the inside of the long with rust protection product and some paint..here again it will probably last longer than me!!




Then it's time to start on the outside :




First I treated the outside part with some rust protection primer (I even diluted some to make it fluid enough to go between the layers..):


And then some rust protection paint (also made it fluid to flow everywhere possible as a first layer, then thick over it)






And time to start adjusting:




Lot of adjustment left but the motivation picture:


Stay tuned
Antoine

Thanks a lot !!!


So, long overdue update!
More adjustments, measurements..and welding here:










And fully welded:






Now adjusting the suspension console :




And all welded including the connecting parts between the consoles:



All measurements are ok and the arm felt right in place:




I can tell you that this view was a real relief !!

But still lots to do, like here with this poor repair:


And behind it some metal put under the rust..




So big cleaning :


Adjusting the bottom part:




And welded:




And the top part:










And welded:




Next update will follow very soon !

Antoine

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 voilà:


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!

Antoine

Under it the donut triangle is also back there:



I still have more to share, stay tuned!

Antonie, beautiful job. The percentage of sheets produced and delivered by you is beginning to equalize the percentage of sheets made by Porsche.

Thanks a lot!!

Some more news..

I created this small hammering form:




Guessing why?


Yes, to build myself the engine sealing surrounds:


And my first try is quite positive:




So I will build the long part!

I also mounted my front sway bar, first making a tool to position precisely the hole:




Thema making the holes:






Modifying inside:


And mounting the sway bar mounts :




Welded back the inside frame:




And everything done:




Stay tuned, work on the driver's side is coming!

Antoine

So, as promised, the work on the driver's side!

After a bit of Paint/gravel protection removal, it wasn't looking promising:




And not much better without the jack point triangle :




So I prepared the floor pan:






And made some cut:




Now I could see the damages better:




So I made a template :


And the part, from cutting to adjusting to welded:










Then some repair on the inner firewall:






And the pan:




And its reinforcement:




And the triangle, no chance to repair the old one so I made a new one:














And that is one side done:


Stay tuned

Antoine
