Front arch

Wk 28 17/02/13

This week was continuing the front inner arch. First was cutting out the rusty parts for the arch nuts and welding in two new pieces.
Next was the inner arch part. This has obviously rusted from being one of those places where water gathers from the inside. The piece for this went in really well. Then the usual rust treatment and coat of paint.
I had hoped to get the front wing this weekend, even rang and checked they had it in but when i got there they were moving stock and it was in one of the places they couldn't get into. Oh well it is being delivered in the week and can get on with the front part of the inner wing next weekend.

I moved on to cleaning up inside the bonnet area. This is pretty good, a few spots of rust and a lot of dirt and grease but nothing to much to do under here.

Few spots of rust under the petrol tank were the spot welds were

Cleaned the rust spots up with the wire brush on the drill. Then rust treatment and a coat of paint

Painted up nice and clean.
Been a good days work this weekend and hopefully next weekend we will move around to the front of the car.
