The Joys of Rust repairs..

So work on the car is finally on the way again. This past weekend I pulled the two creases that were running along down the side of the rear 1/4 panel. This was done using a stud gun. Smore more shots of the amount of nails used...

There were a couple more shallow spots on the 1/4 so those were pulled in the same fashion as well.

Next the sill was ground down of filler and primer, noticed that I'll have to patch the leading edge of the sill, closest to the front tire. It just looks like a bad patch job w/o the back of the repair being treated in anyway.

Some dents on the rear of the sill, this was pulled as much as possible, the rest will have to be done with filler...I'm not good enough to do this repair w/o filler.

Shot of the lower rear 1/4 panel. You can see the botched patch job here.

more of a full view of the patch, I was thinking what the best approach would be, and decided to cut the sucker out. Seems that's my answer for a lot of the repairs...

Section cut, you can see the panel behind that was rusted as well. This panel was ground down with a wire wheel, and sprayed with a rust killing product from eastwood.

The old panel that was cut out...

Panel as it was trimmed and coated with the rust protector. and here, is the start of the welding. I did a bunch of little tacks yesterday, and should finish up the welding tonight or tomorrow.

Until the weekend! unless I do work during the week.
