Spent the day with my buddy Phil again and we went to town. Grinding and cutting and removing the seam sealer and even teased ourselves a little by trying some hardener.

Before:


After:


this stuffs a pain in the ***




Started grinding down some of the welds...





and for fun tried out some hardener

Anyone know the best way to smooth out the seams like on the shock towers?

Stitch weld them, and use some seam sealer between the stitches. Strength > looks.

Did you perform a tuck in the engine bay??? If so, what did you do???

Type-Spaz

nothing crazy but spent a couple of hours grinding again tonight... oh the joys.....







I know I have lots to go and some or sloppy as i got bored... but friday I will continue...


I also removed more seam sealer

Type-Spaz

I've done so much... kinda hard to list

Type-Spaz

So my buddy Phillip came down and we went to town on the bay last night. As I said we focused on filling the bigger holes.



cleaning metal to weld up


Testing fit


Tac in place


Weld


and walla


same thing with the old brake line holes


but placed the metal in the back side





The ultimate hole filled.....


traced out our pattern


cut it out


start welding it in



then started sanding it down



Then Phillip started some filler







also started welding and smoothing the motor mount



Not going to work on it tonight... but I'll keep cleaning up tomorrow

Type-Spaz

great friend of mine hooked me up with a full energy suspension bushing kit awhile ago and I haven't done anything with it yet. But since my car is all apart I figured I'd finally get around to doing something with it.



I havent installed anything yet and will shortly but damn did I get all upset at my car last night... everything came out like butter until the very last bolt...






So I lit that bitch on fire!


and grabbed the cut wheel




what a pain in the *** now I need to clean out the old bushing still



and this is the mess it left

Gusset that subframe and those lower control arms, while you're at it.

Type-Spaz

Ok spent another four hours in the garage today working on this bay...


used a wire brush to clean up some of the back firewall





and here are my main two tools for grinding


So I cleaned up some of the new fill plugs

and here is my bay as it sits currently

Awesome build, congratulations, it is perfect to me!

Axix24

The bay looked great before.. You got WAY too much time on your hands... hahaha

Type-Spaz

So we decided that it would be better to weld everything verses weld some and mud some... so I spent the first part of the night trying to remove all the filler we had previously laid




then cleaned so we could weld




had a lot of troubles with the welder. I had to go get a new tank of gas an then had to go get new rod as I ran out of both... then we couldn't get the welder adjusted correctly at first so it was welding like crap. We eventually got everything smoothed out and it started welding smoother







spent hours grinding lol





I know it looks rough... my back was hurting

and then welded up the other side after I cleaned out the filler





as she sits

Type-Spaz

the worse part is I don't... working two jobs and trying to do this sucks

Type-Spaz

So I spent around 5 hours today working on the damn car... man this is a lot of work... and I feel like I haven't even made a dent in it!

so here was where I started


pain in the *** and no where done


started griding and didn't like how it was looking


so I, yes I, rewelded it.


also rewelded the bottom of this section



and added more filler to the side



then started focusing on the other side



grinded down


started the sides





and spent a lot of time here







hard to tell but it's looking great IMO. Some filler will clean it up alot and smooth it out great!

Type-Spaz

So I took a break from the bay today and focused on my engine. I just wanted to seperate it from the trans and get it on a stand. I will start working on it from here now


So here is what I started with:






Then I started pulling off the supercharger, harness and misc






and to be safe started boxing up all my parts lying around






Busted the engine hoist back out



lifted her up so I could take the trans off



then pulled the trans off



threw it up on the stand



and done

Type-Spaz

redid my FPR again today while I'm finished up welding.

So I made a template


cut it out


smoothed it out


drilled the holes


test it out



bolted it where I'm running it



welded it quick


and sanded it down



I'll clean it up more later when I get to this side. Phillip went to town starting the driver side and I must say HOT DAMN




it is so smooth and gonna look sick

Type-Spaz

So started pulling out my interior too....









pull out the backs next





poor car lol






Here are all of my bars lol
