this section of the post will be nice and short, The drivers doors and front fender have been finished at least the rust removal and fresh metal installing part. They'll be epoxy primed shortly after being metal prepped. Then i'll spray the 3m schult on the backs and use sealer where necissary. Then those panels can go into storage until im ready to assemble the car for the bodywork stage.
Bad news!
Firstly we're going to be manufacturing the trunk floor from plate steel which means cutting off the support panels for the stock item then mounting those to the new plate and jigging up the new plate this is time consuming and a lot more effort for me :(
The worst part of the boot pan is removed to i can get to the inside of the rear quarter, the rust has also grown into the wheel arch area and will need to be cut out and replaced :\...
Oh and the rust on the bottom of the rear quarter goes about 250mm up along the WHOLE LENGTH of the rear fenders. and also as you can see in the picture the rear support panel including inside wheel arch is absolutly rotted out. there was up to 20mm of bog in there and the adhesive pads and even some bronzing a lot of bandaid solutions which mean EVEN MORE WORK for me >< and delay for Craig. :\ as im going to have to redo the entire rear support panel aswell as the front cosmetic panel ... where both join the rear off the car and where they join the wheel arch.... huge... effort without a parts car.
