Hey guys;
Funky if you are having to use a lot of force on the spot weld drill I would say it’s blunt, I’ve used the Suttons ones, a couple of different sizes, the ones I’m using now are the cutter type, I think you get a 10 pack for 20 bucks off evilbay.
I know I was winging but I prefer to drill the out of the crap panel I’m removing because I don’t want to damage the panel underneath, anyway see where I get up to today

I do too Clay certainly helps.
Didn't get much else done this weekend, cleaned all the rust out of the inner sill on the drivers side and used some rust converter and then primer on it.
Completed the bottom of the Drivers side A Pillar, trimmed the bits off the bottom and folded the edge under like you are supposed to do.
Need to roll the rotiss back over now and finish of the bottom of the passenger side A pillar.
Both front floor sections after that

Ended up getting the driver side floor pan tacked in.
This was by far worse side of the front, it has taken nearly all of the Rares replacement panel, weird that the passenger side rear floor and under set areas were bad and the driver side front
Some of it will be cut out when the new floor hump goes in but I thought it was better to have good metal for the floor hump to mate to than the shite that was still there.
Big hole to start with.

When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

Sounds like a plan Blacky,
I’m planning to get Frank and I (and maybe Robyn) to the club meeting and hopefully the run to King Road Brewery, even though it’s not far from me would be good to give the Ute a good run.
Then happy for you and whoever to do a shed visit
