Ol' Rusty - FB/EK Sedan
Re: Ol' Rusty - FB/EK Sedan
Kudos to the young bloke , good to see he perseveres with a job like that instead of wandering off
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.

Re: Ol' Rusty - FB/EK Sedan
Thanks for the offer Rob. Still on a bit of a trip down memory lane with pictures. But want to document chronologically.

Re: Ol' Rusty - FB/EK Sedan
Okay. So not as simple as the passenger side. Noticed a few bubbles in the sill but when I attacked it with my sharpened screw driver it pretty much fell apart. Went to work with the angle grinder to check the inner sill. Looked ok under the car.

Very tidy. Yes it is a tricky spot. Do yourself a favour and get some gas.

Re: Ol' Rusty - FB/EK Sedan
Not so great. Lots of little pin holes. Sigh. Did some reading and the outer sill ‘seems’ relatively simple to repair.

The paint was all that was holding the shape. Usually passenger side is worse.

Re: Ol' Rusty - FB/EK Sedan
Then I got to the A pillar. Both inner and outer A pillar sections need work, as well as the subframe bracket. There is also a bit of rust in the floor around the A pillar that has been badly patch over.

It is a big job but the replacement panels help. Inner can possibly be saved? Patch from the inside and paint and protect well.
