Ivan's coupe: bodywork is done

[Ivan141]

Update time again! Havent got much done.. just some cleaning mostly, which I think I will be doing plenty of in the coming month.


She's up in the rotisserie!

Result of a little inspection round:


The car fell off the jack 2 weeks ago... appears to have landed on the rear pocket . Not to worry, it's out of sight and there was rust in the wheelwell above it so I will take the time to straighten it out.



The old frame rail where it meets the new one. Need to fill the gap. The bar was put in place to keep things sturdy.


Big bummer: more rot in the right rear frame rail. I'll have to inspect if it is sound beneath the panhard mount, otherwise I have a lot of drilling ahead of me.


Dropped the front subframes because the car is to heavy to turn with all that crap hanging underneath it. (Mainly the rear axle which weighs a ton).


The result of one hour cleaning (almost)... this is going to take forever!


Left rear sill needs some attention.. it's probably a little worse
than it looks on the inside judging by the sound of the metal there.


Framerail rear left.. nothing as bad as the right side, but this will be fixed.


A peak in the trunk above my new bit of frame rail.

Time to get my finger oot as they say across the channel.
