Hey nothing wrong with a little tax evasion lol. Leave the little guy alone!

[jayrs]

, he might pop up now and then

[- Danny Boy -]

Good progress Jay My rear arch on the petrol cap side is getting very bad, i need to sort that out soon

[niracka]

Sooner the better mate. The longer its left the bigger the job.

[- Danny Boy -]

Yeah I know Its started creeping up loads over the last year. I think it will need a new panel Oh well, its only a bit of metal at the end of the day!

[jayrs]

what ever you see on the outside, you can be sure its 2-3 times worse on the inside

i just happen to have a pic to show what i mean

[niracka]

UGHHHH nasty!!!

Theres your little mate again Jay!!!

[hb69]

Excellent stuff Jay Really bad that side isnt it

[- Danny Boy -]

This makes me feel bad about mine now lol. I love your little drawing and that

[knuckles]

i was expecting that passenger inner wheel arch to be worse than that !

Lush !

[jonyb4]

calrk your brave saying that

the little doodle dude!


jay was ere

not for long hes moving onto the next panel sharpish

[jayrs]

clark will upload some more pics im sure.

the inner arch isnt as bad as the drivers one, and although round the filler cap area on the inner wing looks bad, its solid! metals thin in places but tis not rotted through, it could be saved, but whats the point, ill chop it and replace it, and i got some thicker gauge metal i plan to use, just got to find the face place for the lathe so i can trapan the hole out

[knuckles]

Little dude is Back !





i was dreading this section more than any other part of the car
very pleased its not too far gone

Jay will work his magic on this im sure.

[- Danny Boy -]

That actually looks really cool in the last pic, i love seeing inside of things and see how its all made and put together and that.

Im sure it will be mint when Jay is done with it

[jonyb4]

omg i know that little guy, ive seen him before!

or does he have a brother?!



yea its nice seing the insides of the car that you never see, doesnt look o be alot of strength in that frame though

[jayrs]

thats his brother flicking the bird to clark too

its betetr than the other side, but still rusty where i expected it to be, the jacking support will have the bottom cut off it all the way along and theres a bit on the inner wing that needs looking at to see if it needs cutting out or if it will clean up.

will be starting on the inner arch lip tomorrow

[jonyb4]

good god, was in a fair old state though weren't it

dont blame ya for handing it to him clark

[knuckles]

ive seen alot worse jony.
That inner wing is still intact. ive seen some where you cant even make out the hole the fuel neck goes through. The rear quarter only had 3 little scabs until jay started poking it.

I gave it to jay as id rather he take his time with it than some jobs worth at a bodyshop who couldnt give 2 hoots

[jayrs]

and i set to with my hammer and chisle, yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhh boy

while out there today i kept getting this feeling i was being watched, but no one was there, ive even see shadows... and thats no s**t, i cant explain the shadows, but the feeling of being watched was ture as i turned round and saw him! watching me

[knuckles]

(jay wrote this then changed it to being clarks post)

i (jay) was out there again today, rough trimmed the inner wing panel, cut out the filler area and remade another one to fit in out of 1mm thick mild steel.
welded in, and primed, primer is just on to protect the bare metal for now (inside and out) and as you can see its been left long to allow trimming to fit the inner wing panel.
i know you can still see the welds as i didnt grind it right back, but theres not much point really.
anyway, pics

[Ratspeed]
