Be expecting a lot of rust in places you wouldn’t think.
I can take a few pics of what’s left of my donor car to show you the worst areas.
Good thing is there’s not a lot of car to rust in the first place.
I would recommend stripping the entire car and getting a good rust prevention paint and spraying the entire inside of the shell and chassis and all the nooks and cranny’s to help hold it all together and prevent more rust if you want I keep it long b my make sure you coat any repairs with a good primer or galvanising paint
yeh that would be helpful thankyou. I have had a bit of a look and yeh there is a bit of rust but not as much as I thought there would be. I will be stripping it out to get a decent look at it and I do want to get it running on the original 2cyl first but it may end up with the efdet in there.
Thought It was about time I did an update and I do prefer to do videos as it helps to give me a visual reference also of what I have done and sometimes my stupidity on what I have done.
I also believe that it is great to make mistakes as thats how we learn. You will probably see many in my video’s.haha
I do plan to do more vids and will try to use that to help motivate myself.
Its been a long time since I did an update so here it is.
The efdet is on the back burner for a while and I need to get the car solid first and take care of the rust it has.
Hopefully I wont be as long in between updates as I have been with this one.
The big hole actually got 3 pieces of metal patched over it. One on the outside as picutred. Then i put another on top to cover some small holes further in (no pic) and then one on top to bring it in to the inner skin and add as much strength as possible.
I then found an old tin of kill rust but could not find a paint brush so a tooth brush had to do to get some in there lol One of the draw backs of living on the edge of the outback, not much option when you dont have or cant find what you need.
I never got to the triangle bit or welded the hole i cut back on as yet.
As you can see my welding skills are not the greatest and I uses a gasless mig as it is what I have. I will make things look pretty later the focus is more getting the rust fixed first, pretty later.
