Trial fitting is over and we have started welding. We are using TIG with silicone bronze rod.

It looks really good Aaron.

If you are going to grind down those welds....

I don't recommend Evidure for any structural stuff. It is great for bonding body panels and such.

It doesn't have the same shear strength and will crack over time.

Never heard of Evidure...

I am going to grind them down and skim coat them. I'm planning on welding in the Mad Dog Motorsport inner long kit, installing the new trailing arm roller bearing bushings, alignment/corner weight at Iron Canyon Motorsport, and then a round testing the car before making it pretty. After I thrash her around the autocross course a few times I'll gussy her up a bit.

Sorry....I'm getting old.

I think it is spelled Everdur....Silicon Bronze welding wire. That is what I used to call it.

It flows really nice and you'll get lower weld distortion on the body panels, since there is lower heat input.

Any structural stuff like longs and the such, I'd use regular welding wire for that purpose.

Ah... I've had really good luck with the stuff (whatever we are using) for mounting things that WOULD normally crack over time. I've used it for all kinds of tab mounts with great success. My welder is really, really good, so maybe he has some magic stuff.

Turns out I had a cracked/torn stub pipe too. Used the shop vac to find it!

I drilled the ends of the crack/tear to relieve any stress and welded it up. I re shaped the oval and made sure it was flat. No leaks!Attached Image

Nothing new there. I plan to weld in the longitudinal stiffening kit and finish my testing (autocross) before deciding whether to finish the transformation to track rat or make it look pretty again. Stay tuned...

Finally got some time yesterday to make some headway on the finish work. Used the angle grinder and a flappy paddle sanding disk to take of any runs/drip/defects and the weird, gummy black spray paint that the rear quarter came with.

After sanding I laid down a guide coat. I've got good sanding blocks on order... Progress.

Closer still... Going to use some 2 part glazing to get some of the finer bits taken care of then do a once over the rest of the car.
