I also got some rust repair done on the driver's jack point and unfortunately I didn't take the best of pictures.

I started with this.

I then welded up a circle plate to cover the hole. The jack tube welds to this plate.

I then added a second layer and I cut a square hole in the middle for the jack tube.

I used a rocker panel to ensure everything lined up and then welded on the outer cover.

I finished by cleaning up the inner sail panel area with a wire wheel and then coated everything with Ospho. Once it dries I will clean the area up and start fitting the sail panel and new door jamb. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) Progress feels good.

Today I was able to trim and fit the new sail panel, new door jamb, and the old section of fender. Taking my time and making one cut at a time, all the panels came together surprisingly well. Everything is currently held together with sheet metal screws and ready for welding. I'm going to apply primer to the back of everything before any welding happens. I still have to enlarge the vent hole.

The replacement sail panel fit like a glove with very little tweaking needed. The new door jamb fit very well at the top but the bottom will need some modification.

One of the tasks I had to do to the door jamb was to relocate the striker plate for the door. I drilled out the spot welds on the retaining strap on the back of the old jamb. I then used part of the old jamb to locate my holes. I then installed the striker and adjusted the door. Then welded on the retaining strap again.

Also started tearing into the engine bay. Remove the Trunk lid pivot from both sides and also the engine shelf. The white stuff is from an ospho treatment.

I started tearing into the passenger side over the weekend. Very typical rust.

The infamous glob of goo that causes so much rust.

The jackpoint. I'm going to have to dig a little deeper than I thought in this area but its still very manageable. The inside long will need a small patch and I'll replace the outer completely.

While I was in the area I took a good look at the rest of the long it has rust coming through in a few odd places. I decided to go ahead and replace the whole long. Gotta place an order with restoration design.

Today I took some time to remove the interior.

Good news: Interior is in good shape with no rips or tears. Just needs some cleaning. I also found $0.29. Score! Carpet is trashed but I already have replacements from 914Rubber.

Bad news: More rust. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) I had planned to replace the rear floorpan but now it looks like I will be replacing the inner lower firewall and possibly the floor crossmembers.

Got a little more work done tonight. I got the sail panel trimmed out as well as the door jamb for the passenger side. I'm fitting up the sail panel and fender first so going forward when I work on the inner rocker, I will have a good reference point to go by, the door gap.

I started to tear out the floor. I'm about half way through. Its been a really fun time drilling out all the spot welds from underneath but so far so good.

Jacking triangle removed. Long is solid.

You can see the area of the inner firewall that will need some work on the drivers side.

This weekend I made some big progress is the engine bay. I started by removing what was left of the "outer" layer on top of the long. I then made some patches, welded them in and mocked up the engine shelf. I made sure to keep the inner layer of the long intact for strength purposes.


Outer layer removed.

The patches.

Mocked up.

Got it all welded up. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) It feels good to be adding metal and not removing it.
