plugg'n away...

Got some work done in the last few days, i used to call it spare time but now days its just stealing time. repaired the inner structure as when i removed the rocker panel it was rotten all the way through so cut out the rust and hand made the pieces to repair. rust cleaned up and couple of coats of expoy primer to seal up metal [indian red was on sale!!] attached the new rocker after inner went in and plug welded all together. fairly happy alot stronger than before, the whole structure is solid as..this is a big job as you cant repair the rocker panel with out cutting away the front and back quarter panels. the front fenders are all one piece and attached to the windscreen pillars and front nose piece. will start the panel pieces soon as i just like to get my head around it and have some plan of attack before i start cutting again..these repairs are so delicate and precise , dont want any warping and shrinking so will do some tests on the two metals going together first..




sealed the back of the patches first.


i did epoxy this before rocker went in just
didnt take pics.
