Agreed. Who doesn't love a slow drive-by gawking at blood and guts? But you don't usually get the chance to watch the surgeon stitch them back together again. In for updates.
Much of an update but today I was getting all the kinks out of the trunk lid fitment and the door... I'm gonna need a new door and I hope it's coming in tomorrow morning... Here r some Picts of what I did today. Attachment 185866 Attachment 185867 Attachment 185868 Attachment 185869 Not much of a diff in the Picts but the fitment is way better and also cut down the quarter panel a bit more to get the door to close properly but after closer inspection the door is bent out of shape so new door. 😑😑😑 my pocket Does not like it. |
when u weld everything back how do u know that the back is straight with the front? like the aligment and body will be straight?

ok so big problem i was having with the left quarter panel is that it was too low... no matter how much i pulled and bent the chassis it was still too low and i had to go ti plan D... :icon43:
that involved cutting and manually moving the quater panel up... here the picts first the line where we are gonna cut. Attachment 185651 Attachment 185652 then we cut.. Attachment 185653 Attachment 185654 Attachment 185655 Attachment 185656 nice view with the bumper on.. :) Attachment 185657 Attachment 185658 Attachment 185659 after that we tig weld the whole thing again... Attachment 185660 Attachment 185661 sorry about my welding but the machine was acting up... we need a new regulator for the argon.. anyways Attachment 185662 Attachment 185663 Attachment 185664 Attachment 185665 Attachment 185664 and after some grinding... Attachment 185667 Attachment 185668 like nothing happend but we had to address the clearance between the qarter panel and the trunk lid which was to closed... so more cutting and welding. Attachment 185668 Attachment 185670 Attachment 185671 Attachment 185672 Attachment 185673 after that the taillight position has been moved so next was to square that off again and the rest is gonna be smoothed out with bondo... yes bondo.
