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) . |

The wiper assembly mechanism arm hole.. thing.. was looking a bit suspicious. So I started a little investigation. Luckily it was much better than feared.. wrong!
The bottom was not saveable, deep rust pitting. Made a high tech special tool. Test fitting the part. It turned out quite nice. The other side is probably better.. very wrong! The panel around the hole had been dented with an hammer for the bondo. (unfortenatly I was to upset to remember to take a photo of this). New tool to make the fillet on top. Had to make this panel in two parts. Finished part pre welding. Finished repair. |
