Panel Sanding

Filed under: Body Work — Steven Rowlandson @ 6:39 pm

More Sanding today on the doors and the firewall. The door skin on the drivers side was particularly bad having a strip of fibre glass in the bottom section to badly cover a rotten door skin. It might be easier to replace the ddoor skin here. The Firewall was wire brushed to expose some rust sections. Looks like a replacement panel will need to be ordered for here and mig welded in place.I spent a good hour wirebrushing the chassis and other components to get rid of the dust dirt and grime ready for the chassis blacck paint to go on. A new tool joined the shed from Super Cheap Auto, taking advantage of  their 20% off sale. I picked up a Die grinder which will be of great assistance when i start the welding of the panels etc.Some photos of the day:The roof is particularly bad, being 90% covered in 5mm of bog. The roof can be panel beaten back to a reasonable condition once the damn bog is removed.   More photos here: Photos from the Day.
