Hole Pt2 - Boot Floor Driver Side Complete

Just other side and valance to go.

Hole Pt1

Driver side boot

Arse Rot

I thought I'd better make it an amusing title, just so it lightens the mood a bit on the situation.... blind monkeys have again been attacking the car, this time welding new stuff over rusted old stuff - leaving the valance corner full of rust and grim.

I think I must have a sign on my forehead saying 'This person is a mug and will do anything'.

Oh well, we will persist....!

O/S Shock Mount - Complete

So, like I said - it was nice and simple - all went smoothly.

Welded the vent hole on the N/S up - and put in the scuttle closing panel.

Did a bit of tidying on the N/S shock mount - looks much nicer.

To do:
O/S Scuttle closing
O/S Vent Sealing
Rear Valance
Various Tidying

N/S Shock Mount - Complete

N/S Shock mounting panel made up, and welded in - was a bit of a pig to do, but it was better than buying a whole new wing just to use a section of it.

As you can see the O/S isn't as bad and won't take very long at all to complete.

Attacking the Shock Mounts

As you can see, the side is complete, and we've started attacking the shock mounting points - rotten isn't really the word for it, I think non-existant covers it.

Really not much left to do now, but still plenty to do on the trailer, so once the shell is complete least there will be something to do.... well apart from building the engine, but we need to find somewhere dry and stuff to start that really.

Blind Monkey Welding?

Do you think it's been let loose by the previous owner?

If I knew the person responsible for such appalling welds I would name a shame, but alas I don't!
