ok, heres my new project. this is going to go pretty slow, until i can get some decent time to get work done... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/huh.gif) I hate school. ordered metal, and am waiting for it to arrive. I'm glad i didn't pay alot for this car, cause i found 100 percent more rust than I expected. things that looked solid, fell apart. lots of fabrication work. But i'm not afraid to fabricate stuff. I gotten pretty good. here are some pics that are more recent. Hope you enjoy this thread!!!!!!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) drivers side after digging

You are doing great man...I'm SURE you are going to do this restoration in record time.
Here's the thread I did on replacing floor pans...I used a spot weld remover a little different than the one mentioned earlier. http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?act=...=ST&f=2&t=24244 It's a LOT easier than it looks. just takes some patience. If I had to do it over again, I'd have jacked the car up about 3-ft. Hit the edges with a wire-brush to get rid of all the undercoating and then spend a few hours getting rid of all the spot welds. It's a GIANT pain in the ass...but VERY worth it! Good luck man....let us know if you need help. |
