Project Cliff - The Cherry Red Thirty by stretch tech

5 minute(s) of a 220 minute read

we pulled back the curtains today after leaving cliff over Sunday and the rust reverter has completely stopped the rust

















first we welded on all the patches to the N/S of the bulkhead, N/S inner wing, flitch panel and scuttle closure











before repairing the shock mount, we filled the inside of the bulk head cross member with rust reverter



this was my first attempt at welding, i didn't even practice on off cuts first...



we used the new scuttle to line up the new closure





then applied some seam sealer





then we bit the bullet and cut out the N/S front floor pan, outer sill, subby mount, lower rear quarter and parts of the inner sill and jacking point









we ended up cutting off a lot more than we anticipated to find some solid metal it made me feel a little sick to see cliff like this



then we started to replace the panels with fresh metal...











...that's better

tomorrow we will finish welding on the new part of the inner sill, front floor pan, outer sill, lower rear quarter repair...the list goes on and on
