Time to start on the LH Fender.
Sorry about the low quality pic <!-- emo&:( -->(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif)<!-- endemo -->

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/www.gaz914.com-1758-1634535315.1.jpg)

Cut a bit more out to get a better look.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/www.gaz914.com-1758-1634535315.2.jpg)

Unfortunately, there was some rusting at the top of the door post

Bought myself a Dremel kit <!-- emo&:headbanger: -->(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/aktion035.gif)<!-- endemo --> and used the small cut-off wheels to cut out some of the fender.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/www.gaz914.com-1758-1634535350.1.jpg)

Here is a better pic of the rust on the door post

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/www.gaz914.com-1758-1634535350.2.jpg)

After some <!-- emo&:welder: -->(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/welder.gif)<!-- endemo --> it ended up like this

Painted it with POR 15 before strating on the next bit of reconstruction.

More fabricating little filler pieces (cut out of an old filing cabinet actually!)

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/www.gaz914.com-1758-1634535474.1.jpg)

Then reweld the outer fender back on

Grinder gets a workout...

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/www.gaz914.com-1758-1634535502.1.jpg)

Then weld yet another filler piece to close up the fender.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/www.gaz914.com-1758-1634535502.2.jpg)

No more time for fixing now, work is sending me to Beijing for a week, so more progress pics when I get more time off!

cheers

just checking out ur thread n was impressed with your attitude towards just getting into it ,good work and keep it up there is nothing better and satisfying than standing back and seeing the finished product GOOD WORK lets hope others follow your lead and give the 914 behind the shed a birthday and a new life (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)

with the top of the a pillar where you did the plate work i couldnt see whether or not you took the surrounding areas back to bare metal normally this is desirable (just in case) sandblasting or grit is good as you can get almost everywhere clean and the paint will stick good and the rust (hopefully) wont return either way i know how frustrating this process is so keep up the good work

Thanks for the kind words (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)
Its a long slow road, but we will get there (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

Banksy,
I used one of the Dremel "die grinder" bits to get all the rust off "inside" the door post and around the weld area (no photos, too busy working!) and I used the POR-15 Metal Ready and POR-15 paint before I welded. The heat knocks the paint around, but I am intending to use some fish oil style rustproofing inside all the box sections once repairs are complete.

I'm hoping that it doesn't rust too much here in Aus - especially since it doesn't seem to rain anymore (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)

When visiting England by car from the European mainland (where I worked for several years) I found that you really have to pay attention to driving on the left instead of the right. Driving a left hand drive car propably didn't help. Pulling onto roads from side roads and turning through intersections were prime opportunities for ending up on the wrong side of the road facing oncoming traffic. Yikes! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif)

BTW, my transportation while pubbing was always either by foot or tube! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)
