Raven Posted December 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 2 hours work and my shoulder was killing me.... So this is what I did today :lolcry: I have found some problem rust areas. As you can see on the passenger side, after I had removed the inner guard once before, I found a massive rust hole that ants were using as an entrance into my car, so I had to quickly patch it up with some body-filler to stop the little bastards making a nest in the back under the carpet. The driver side, which I didn't take pics of, has even more rust around the start of the sill panel there. Definitely a panel beater/sheet metal workers job. Its coming along slowly but there is usually progress made with it each weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raven Posted February 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 (edited) As stated, last weekend the motor was pulled out. I didnt take any pictures of it as it was a relatively simple process, but I have this weekends pics :) Enjoy! - The Sill Panel - The nasty rust (above) which will have to be cut out and a new section of sill panel made to fit.

pixelated_goat Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 I know how you feel Raven, my panel beater almost had a fit everytime he pulled off another panel, new bit of rust hiding - looks good when it's done though. Can't wait to see it, driving next to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
