Hell Hole Repair made easy, Well, easier anyway. Options

[skline]

Ok, Today at sklines garage we explore repairing the hell hole in a slightly rusty car. As some of you know, Mark Bland (Engman) has been working on a new Hell Hole repair kit. This is my redition of removing the rust and installing this kit. My first step is to remove the battery tray and support. I did so with my trusty $5.00 air chisel. The next step in to clean the area as good as you can and remove as much loose rust and get down to a point that you can weld. Next I will be fitting the kit into place for fittment. I will be posting pictures as I go. I just started and at this point, I have removed the battery tray and cleaned the hole out. Now I am going to fit the kit into place to see how it fits. Aaron has beent he photographer so dont blame me for bad pictures. If I have any question about it I will take some also.

Couple of questions Mark. I'm not looking at the car so this is from memory:

1 - Does the side metal on the drivers side have to come up that far so as it would interfere with the board? I think the left side goes to that degree due in whole to the battery. I haven't seen a right side that bad.

2 - I would think anyone into this much metal work would have to remove the fan mount and weld it back on once the HH is repaired. No?
