mmmmm steel

I never had a welder in my youth,and my brothers 105e anglia van needed some patches ,so i pop riveted some copper in its place
and I thought I was doing a good job

Coming along well Scotty The little old Migs working nicely

Thanks all...I guess most would go "ARRRGGGHHH" when finding rust like this..but somehow I quite like finding it as it gives me a feeling of fixing it and knowing that what I'm driving is structurally sound.
I'm forcing myself into doing this rust repair first before I get into the fun custom stuff (plus it gets my welding back up to scratch)..

Scotty.

custom=fun

nice work Scotty. Am looking forward to the fun custom stuff...

Good stuff , I bet all the kustom ideas are stored in the chronicles just waiting for release

I WISH!! Just my Thursday off because it's my Saturday on !

Here's the finished item on the passengers side front sill..
Almost looks like an original!
The inner sill was worse than I thought but after many a cutting & bending I fixed the bloody thing..


..now just fix the small bits on the guard today (& attach the frenched ariel ) to the guard..then back together and finish the driver's side sill...then on to the fun stuff

Scotty.

Well finished the rust on the top 'n' bottom of the guard & filled the old antenna hole and stuck in the frenched one.

All in all a good Australia Day

Scotty.

......... I like the frenched ariel...........might use that somewhere

now the fun stuff begins
