Unfortunately it’s fab time.

If you don't go looking for them, you won't find problems ... I've got to stop looking 🤣 Well the rear quarters are off so I can address the rust in the roof structure. The passenger side rocker and bottom of door jam pillar are going to need some work as well. On the positive side, while it...

I thought it was actually pretty good, at least compared to what I had been expecting from others experiences. To put that in context, my “pretty good fit” took me the better part of a day to get in position, clamp and plug weld my way from the brake master position across the firewall, weld...

Spot and plug welded the cowl in place. I have to mask off all the openings, clean off the AMD black coating then I can 2k prime and move on to the rear sail pillar repairs ...

Yes, I’ve put seam sealer all around the outer edge and also around the inner surface. Hopefully should prevent any moisture getting in.

Getting ready to put the new cowl onto the firewall. Stripped and repainted the underside. Weld through primer on all the mating surfaces. Same to the top of the firewall - I've painted it all with satin black. All the documentation seems to indicate that's what it would have been. Next weekend...

Repaired front roof support welded in and primed. Still have the cowl to do, I wanted to get this in place first as it is well located by the spot weld holes. Hopefully this will give me the datum to get the bottom edge of the windscreen (sitting on the top of the cowl) located properly.

I’m using zincanneal steel sheet as close to the same gauge as the original metal. Then using a range of hand tools, breaks, English wheel, shrinker/stretcher to shape. Then either MiG or TiG to weld depending on where/what I’m welding. Glad you’re enjoying the progress! I’m having fun working...

Thanks, still a long way to go before she's back on her wheels!

A little more progress. Got the passenger side A-pillar complete, installed replacement fresh air intake scoop. Still need to paint the welds now that I have cleaned them up ... Started working on the top front windscreen brace. The leading edge above the windscreen was pretty rotten, so...

Started tackling the passenger side. I've cleaned it up and replaced the lower corner of the A-pillar/windscreen. Also cut out and replaced the last rusted part of the plenum chamber. My TIG skills are getting less embarrassing now at least. I've found that if I tack in place with the mig, then...

Thanks! It’s a slow process…

It’s more than I was anticipating at the start! 😂

Drivers side a-pillar done. Now onto the passenger side. Sadly this side is a lot worse than the drivers side on the upper roof frame rear of the a-pillar.

A little more progress this weekend. I've got the bottom LHS of the plenum chamber repaired. A little bit of a frankenstein effort, but I've had to replace the entire left hand corner from the steering column out. Many pieces of welded together. At least I'm getting practice on my TIG welding...

Thanks Terry! Really appreciate the feedback and thanks for the pics of the radiator support. Weird how mine doesn’t have any and no visible signs that it’s been replaced.

Has something changed with the way that you are meant ot post photos? I'm doing it the same as I have previously, but now it only posts the links not the pics in the post??

Sand blasted and 2 pac primed the inside of the front drivers side section of the roof structure. I'll progressively work my way around the roof from front to back. Next weekends job is putting the drivers side A-pillar back together, then I'll do the same on the passenger side - remove...

Well, I had a suspicion it was going to need some work once I took the roof skin off, I certainly wasn't disappointed! Had hoped it wasn't going to be quite this bad, but little by little and it'll get there. I'm going to have to sand blast all the bits that I've uncovered, replacement pieces...

Making slow progress, I've welded a frame in so that I can start sorting out the rust on the A pillars and the roof. Still a long way to go.
