After a little more prep work yesterday, the chassis rail top is now welded in place. Took my time carefully clamping it all in place and getting good contact for the plug welds and as a result I’m very happy with how it’s turned out. Needed to get the dolly hammers out for one or two little bits to get things back into the right shape and a little more work is needed to get it right for the fitting of the outer repair plate right in one specific spot. Took some pictures, but didn’t get a chance to upload them last night. Really feel like I’m moving forwards now.
Here’s the chassis rail top welded in from the last session on the car.
Today I finally welded the chassis rail up today. I’ll let the pictures do the talking.
I also chopped a section out of the repair I’d already done on the wheel arch. When I welded it up I didn’t get the panels of the two sides of the weld flush and attempts to fix it afterwards had just created a mess and thin metal. In hindsight the best thing to have done would have been to slit it with a cutting disc once I realised the problem and re-weld it, but I’ll know for future now. Welded in this repair patch.
I also did some seam welding…
