My Resto/Project

It's certainly off road alright, we all just want to see it on the road

 

Engine bay steam cleaned





Then I've started on the crusty corner...

I've got a new piece tacked in, but I totally forgot to photo it before I came away

 

For some odd reason I've been at work this morning

 

I need to redo my seam sealer, how are you going to paint it?

 

I've never seen sealer down a outside joint...

 

Time you went to specsavers dude

All the joints are seam sealed... paint won't seal them on its own

Jet washed the engine bay, and water was spraying out of that one!!

 

Rattle can or maybe blow it in a little with some 2k!!

 

That's a hole under the fixed battery clamp... was a little bigger than I thought, so I'll be welding some new steel in there, then weld the clamp back in!!

 

Pretty much ready for paint prep now!!

Btw, that rh rear corner has been replaced... Whoever did it didn't do a bad job, but they could've done it a little better!!

 

Not criticising, but was it not worth changing the tray rather than patching it?

 

Just a slight hole really

The rest of the tray is really solid

 

Patching would imply that I've welded over rot



As Ray has said, the rest of the tray is sound, it just looks roosty as fook, and it it pitted, but I wouldn't do a patch job if it needed a whole tray That's not how I work

 

Sorry, I worded that badly, wasn't trying to suggest you'd weld over rot.

As you say, it looks rusty in the pic but pics can be misleading.

I'm sure it'll be splendid once you're done

 

Twas teasing... I knew exactly what you meant

 

I knew you'd have a reason

 

I'm even funnier in real life

 

Is that funny ha-ha, or funny peculiar?

 

I reckon a bit of both

 

Lets face it... You have to be off your rocker a little to work on these old dubs full time!!

 

Don't I know it.
