Well I removed the fender and both doors on the passenger side today and stripped them down. Some of the bolts are so old / rusted and seized they sheared.. great. went out and brought a tap and some STAINLESS STEEL BOLTS so we wont have that problem again...
Also brought a special paint coat for the fuel tank, and some new hoses and clamps. And also some more sanding crap so my assistant can continue sanding the removed panels.
I welded the new plates over the holes in the boot and sealed those, also sealed the 2 removable plugs into the left and right fender and cleaned all the bottom of the boot panels and began seam sealing hte outside of those (but ran out of seam sealer lol)
So now I have to buy some more seam sealer to finish that tomorw night then i'll 3m schultz the bottom and all other outside area's. before moving into the inside of the boot and finishing all of that off. Then I can begin to work on the rear window sill and the trunk sill before re-assembling the rear and trying to fix the alignment of the rear bar and lights.
At this time we are HOPING to get the body in etch primer by the end of the weekend coming.
The two plugs are sealed into the floor pan of the boot.
showing rust on both bottom corners of the rear door, Also there is rust on both bottom corners of the front door and also on the top trailing corner.
Rust on the fender.
Looking more and more like a shell thats ready to be etch primed!
The metal patch's welded in and sealed over the top.
