O/S boot now made of solid metal instead of rust and holes.
O/S chassis mount strengthener all welded in. Boot repair prepped ready to weld in tomorrow.
O/S rear wheel arch repair all welded in tonight. Hoping to get this side all finished up this week.
Finished up the N/S boot repair tonight and chopped out the O/S chassis mount strengthener and boot rot ready to start repairing them.
N/S Boot repair prepped and part welded in today. Pretty toasty in my welding gear in this heat!
N/S chassis mount strengthener welded in last night. Bit warm for welding gear though!
N/S chassis mount strengthener removed to see if I could salvage any of the metal underneath. It was all rotten so chopped it all out as well as the edge of the boot panel:
Decided to separate the repair panel so I can get some paint protection between the two panels:
and have welded in the repair panel for the wheel arch:
Pretty much finished up the O/S rear quarter and front arch today before running out of welding wire!
So chopped out the rotten washer bottle panel and lowered the shell back onto the chassis so I can start replacing the rear chassis mount panels.
N/S rear quarter all finished off last night. Now just to repeat this on the other side.
Lots of metal going back into the baja. N/S front arch pretty much done and have made a good start on the N/S rear quarter and O/S front arch.
