Greetings,
Thought I'd open up a thread chronicling the epic that my brother in-laws boot floor is turning in to![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
This is as it was:
Spent a day last weekend removing the fuel tank, which involved removing the rear bumper so I could get to the top tow-bar bolts, and then having to hack-saw off the bolts holding the tow-bar arms to the chassis. The shank of these bolts is still in there, and I haven't got around to blasting them with a blow torch and trying to drift 'em out yet.
Yesterday, I had an epic day drilling out spot welds, and grinding out some of the rot on the side panels. This is what I'm left with as we speak![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
the old one:
A bit concerned about the rot in the rear corner under the quarter panel here. Too close to the fold down seat seat-belt mount I think. I might remove those seats, as they're totally un-needed. I think I'll have to remove the seat-belt mounts too. Any tips on doing this? I really really don't want to have to remove the quarter panel
I might be within 30cm of the body mount too. What a pain in the arse :/
Also got a bit of rot at the top corner post on the other side. I don't think this is an MOT fail, but I'm not happy about it.
Need to sort out rear nearside inner wheel arch and a couple of patches on both from inner wheel arches too, and then I think it might get through an MOT. We'll see
