I am starting this thread "in medias res" with the car as it is today.
Then I will post a confusing mix of past and present, showing the project updates and process. Promise to nerd out on the details. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) . |

Ok, so the hell hole, turns out it was not rust free.. Hælveteshøl it would be called in Norwegian btw.
It seemed to be solid, but some closer investigation revealed sloppy previous rust repairs. (x2) Not one, but two layers of new metal without removing the original disaster area. After removing the old crap I started fabricating the new parts. It is not really very complex geometry, and only two areas needed "special tooling". This is the bottom of the hole, and the flange towards the side. And the shelf. I would not call it hell, but more like tedious and annoying-hole. |
