A pretty productive week again this week.
First up I finished up the driver’s side rear wheel tub by making these closing panels from a second outer wheel arch repair panel. The outer wheel arch was trial fitted whilst welding these in to make sure everything would fit correctly.
Rear:
Front:
I’m pretty much ready to weld the rear arch and rear end panels (corners, battery trays, engine skirts and outer valance), however before that I want to get some paint on the inside of bits that I won’t have access to later. I cleaned up the D pillars and chassis legs using Deox gel, which is a rust remover, and left it over night:
Then spent the best part of Sunday cleaning up all the metal work, sanding and degreasing ready for some zinc rich primer (the rear corner took an age to remove the transit primer from!).
Rear end:
D pillar:
Engine skirts and battery trays (the N/S one is the original tray which needed some minor repairs but was in great condition):
Wheel tub:
Full corner for the O/S and the smaller repair panel for the N/S in the background:
I’ll epoxy mastic the lot this week and then crack on with the welding.
