A patched
rocker panel. Rust was cut out
and replaced with new metal.
A rear panel dogleg cut out and the
sill damage cut away.
The welding and grinding completed.
A dogleg patch panel fitted for
installation.
The repair panel
is a pretty sad "reproduction" and needs some help to connect properly. A
real disappointment to be sure.
I've since read that It would be easier to buy a half section
fender panel and cut it as needed. Add $130.00per panel,
what an option...
Another look at the fit, or mis-fit?
After welding up the fenders and sills I sprayed
Waxoyl
inside the sills and behind the fenders. Note: Waxoyl is
flammable so don't try welding near it. (post script note:the
Waxoyl should have been applied after the paint job. The painter
had problems with fish-eye. He thinks the Waxoyl went airborne
in the booth and had to go over some areas to cover blemishes.)
This is not rust damage but a stress
fracture on the top of the door. This is the infamous MGB crack
of doom. This is inside the door next to the wind wing pillar. I
spotted a small patch over the crack and welded up the outside
of the crack.
