Nice mate i like it are you going to paint it? Would look cool white or something! I want a roofrack!

[alex-95]

I'm not too sure yet, I may leave it , If you want a roofrack I am planning on making a few

[lulu85ritz]

I had my eye on a monte carlo style one but one of those would look cool!

I've done abit more over the past two day's.

Finished off this panel and welded the cut's.

I tacked the arch in, plug welded the black panel and clamped on the other panel.



and welded in.


I still need to finish welding in the panel's.

Iv'e bought the lower repair panel, I'm going to joggle it so there's more strength and I can weld into it.

sound god to me, well done

We finished welding in the panels in the rear bin and ground down and rewelded the floor and there was a few pin holes.



Then I gave it a coat of zinc primer




Then We joggled the quarter panel and welded it along it, We tacked it every 1.5cm or so, so it want warp.


Then I welded in line's from tack to tack.


We still have to plug weld it on the seam and where the joggle is behind, then grind it back, so that's another job to do in the week.

Comment's welcome.

nice one Alex, did you joggle the repair piece or the quarter panel joining edge?

[alex-95]

Cheer's, We joggled the repair piece so it slotted up behind the original, There is hole's punched in the joggled section of the repair panel so I can plug weld that too, I thought I took picture's of it before welded it in but I didn't.

it is an exellent weld I remember my first one, same repair piece, mine looked sh..t compared to yours, has any warping accured, even minimum?

I think there's a bit, where the weld is there is a dip, so we'll get the hammer and dolly to sought that out.

Nice repairs Alex, comming along nicely and your welding looks, as you say, much improved. I too got better and better with time and it's great to see you doing the same. It's nice when a section is finished and sorted as well as your sill and sub mount area. Nice one.
