Ivan's coupe: roof stuccowork

[Ivan141]

Fresh update, sadly 60% of all my pictures turned out bad:

Work in progress:



Inside:


Out (not done here, but was the only surviving picture):


This about wraps up the right side shockmount and chassis beam. The spring seat is closed up now (not in the pictures), the welds are ground down, the wheelcase is cleaned back to bare metal and zinksprayed for the time being. The inner arches are going to be a separate project, still need to decide which way to go with them. The side I was working on wasnt too bad, but surface rust is present in many places, and rust has crept into the flanges about everywhere. I fear it is worse than it looks, just in the places where I cant see. The left rear wheeltub is a mess, ugly looking patches and rust damage all around. Will probably get myself some Mk3 Escort arches and chop the whole shebang out, that way I can do a better repair on the inner arches. Is a shame though, my outer arches arent bad at all, but if they need to be taken out to do repairs, I might as well refit new slightly wider arches so I can fit more tyre under there.
