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.

I dropped the sedan off the frame today as I was over trying to mig weld up in the rear guards.
I need a little more space to give the tyres a bees tit more clearance. I must have banged my head 5 or 6 times trying to see where I was welding.

Now I can see that my earlier welding was less than poor, like some backyarder did it. I will grind out and re-weld.
Also will be able to weld in the tunnel.
Cheers,
Roger
There is a right way and a wrong way and then there is my way which is usually the long way.
Bloody back yarders. Thank god our generation has back yards at least. Most of the younguns are lucky to be able to afford a block big enough, and too busy working to pay the huge mortgage required.
Re the wheel wells, just turn the schutz gun up to 11 and she’ll be right.

My young bloke has full use of the shed and yard and prefers to spend his life playing computer games 16 hours a day - its a disease ......
I spend too much time on the bloody things yet still manage to get a bit done in the shed.

Hey Roger - would love to see some closer pics of what you are doing there in the wheel well. Are you recessing the inner skin on the outer side of the wheel well?
This is the area that I'm changing. The inner guard on the outside if that makes any sense.

I have already done the inner side but will need tidy it up in case someone looks under the car.
This should allow me to run the 17" rims with 235 tyre up into the guard.
Cheers,
Roger
