johnny boy 159 Posted April 5, 2021 On to the other side now, that's a bit worse , rust wise, so cut out and weld up inner sill before the outer goes on. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I been using poly wheels in a 4 1/2 grinder, and they work brilliantly, take of everything apart from the steel panel. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

johnny boy 159 Posted April 11, 2021 I got the other sill welded on, I needed to make up the end of the sill in the wheel well, closing plate , as that was a bit crispy. Now the mini grinder has packed up , and I've run out of gas for the mig. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johnny boy 159 Posted April 19, 2021 Back on 😊 New gas bottle, and new plus top on grinder. N/s sill done first fix. Nearly there. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

johnny boy 159 Posted April 20, 2021 Bugger, thought I was getting there, then a few small holes in the floor, cut out, just the spot welds to drill off the out rigger, then repairs ,🙄 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
