So, work was slow and lethargic today. Zero energy. So I got home, and thought I would start prepping the hole in the front trunk for welding repair. The replacement trunk pan had some rust in the front passinger corner, in the hardware. But my trunk was good in that spot, so it was no big deal, so I thought.
Start up the angle grinder and start wire cupping the tar rust proofer out of the front of my car. Man, wouldn't you just know that the tar was hiding a ton of additional rust? It is just enough that I don't think that I can use the doner front trunk pan. Also, it looks like my car got a nose job at some point in the past. Lots of welding marks in there. Damn!

Hi
Your situation may not be all bad...easy for me to say, I didn't make a deal with the devil... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/happy11.gif) [/QUOTE]no booze or junk food[QUOTE] The only advice I can give you is, if you are going to do panel repairs, install a GOOD used part, nothing worse the screwing around with welding to rust, adding pieces, etc... Doc&Cy might have a pan for you? if not I am sure you can find it in the classifieds. Any wich way, good luck Later (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beer.gif) |
