So the RHD firewall you drilled the spotwelds all nice. Then on the US firewall you cut it and cut the RHD firewall is well, why didnt you continue to drill spot welds?

Not hating, i guess the way u went isnt horrible. Spot welds is the 100% correct method tho.

 

because pulling apart the car at the a pillars to get the new firewall in isnt exactly appealing.

Didn't want to hack the LHD car apart and it seems the structure would be weakened if you drill out all of the spot welds then have to pull the car apart to get the RHD firewall to fit.

Got the car primer d tonight.






The seam sealer turned out like ****. I have to figure out what to do about it.

 

Awesome work it's come along way Keeping my eye on this thread

 

good lord the primer looks good. this car will be in nashville in july.

 

Glad the weekend is over, bump.

 

Wet sanded the primer today and put on some more filler. It is too cold so we had to stop for the night and let the filler sit some more.
Also took apart the mirrors and the door handles.

 

Added more filler then sanded it down tonight.


then shot it with some primer

Will do man. Car is at bills autobody right now getting the rust fixed and hopefully I get it back soon. Then it can get repainted and assembly can start.

 

Got the rust fixed in the rear quarters just brought it home tonight.




More body work to come next week.

 

 

Wet sand tomorrow...And hopefully the rest of the glass gets pulled. Trying to get a hold of the glass guy but "they can't get find him." Don't know what that means but he is MIA.

 

Wet sanded today...





Going to get the small dents and rock chips that were missed on monday along with the engine bay...Prime...Then sand again. Calling tomorrow to get the rest of the glass pulled since the other guy is MIA.

 

It is good to see everything moving along, I can't wait to start putting it back together.
