Get Chopping

I bought an 8mm spot weld drill bit through Frost not so long ago, but it’s always been fairly poor at removing any of the spot welds on the car I’ve tried, so in the end I’ve given up and sourced this Wieländer and Schill 10mm bit… what a difference in terms of cutting power and the spot welds are now properly separating the panels.

I’ve also picked up an AEG flexible shaft kit (via eBay) for the drill and then sourced a heap of 40 and 80 grit flap wheels. So finishing the welds in some of the tighter spots will be a lot easier now.

Cracked on with the car earlier this afternoon…

Rusty!

Removing the last section of rotten panel has created a hole into the cabin. So now I need to remove the cage so I can removed the flocked dash and save it from being ruined by further works. I’d been putting it off but will be heading back out shortly to take it all out…
