Looked at a nice 73 2.0 today,battery tray was loose and a bit rotted,every other area was in great shape.looking on Pelican i am seeing sheetmetal parts for that area. Is the upper right wheelhouse part used for that fix along with the new battery tray. Can the metal in question be cleaned and the new sheetmetal "bonded" on.

Bonding in a crucial structural area is a complete crime. Welding is the only way to go. My car had had the hellhole 'fixed' but when I got it someone had glued patches over the rust around the suspension console and battery tray area. As this was removed to allow a proper repair to be done the nasty sticky stuff melted while the old stuff was cut out and clogged up numerous disks and flap wheels. The residue it left then created smoke and fumes and made welding extremely difficult. Here in the UK any rust within 30cm of the main chassis member or mounts for steering suspension or brakes has to be welded with continuos weld with full penetration before it is legally allowed on the road.
I'm pretty sure if my car had been in an accident with its 'bonded repair' the result would have been extremely unpleasant. Glue it if you like but good luck if you get rear ended. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) |
