I got up to Brundle
App stopped giving me notifications of new ones, havent looked in over a month. Only after seeing this have I realised theres been about 5 new ones lol.
All been great I thought so far
So Thursday, we set this radius tool up in the press at work, never seen it before, but it was like, a really nice radius, perfect I thought for the deflector plates to go with my brake cooling ducts...
Got home that night, pulled the clio out, whipped a wheel off and patterned up something I...
Slowly progressing with this.
Inner sill welded and primed
Outer made and tacked in
Welded and primed
The above was last Monay I think it was, the night the "lockdown" was introduced
Had a feeling it was coming, so went to the unit to try get it ready to bring home, good job I did...
Little update seeing as I'm now off work until Wednesday at the earliest..
Finished the passenger side last Saturday
The heat had warped the lower part of the rear quarter so I had to get the filler out to sort that, It was only minimal but noticable with the skirt on. This annoyingly meant I...
Small update
Passenger side sill is all welded up, hoped to be pretty much finished besides paint today but couldnt make it to the unit so I'm further behind haha.
Adding a lip after id welded the panel in.
Treated the inside with the rust converter stuff for any bits I'd not managed to...
Turns out this repairing rotten sills stuff takes way longer than you'd expect.
Couldnt go to the unit Saturday as all the boys were prepping for Ultimate Dubs, wasnt space for the clio, so dropped it down 1st thing Sunday, by the time I'd gotten back home to get the Saab and gotten back to the...
Surprising that, you're lucky 😂
Must be a repair that as sills arent bad.
I'd still look at treating and protecting them whilst there's something left to protect haha.
To the OP, worth treating that with something to help prevent it.
Ive spent a small fortune on dinitrol products, supposedly the best out there, to protect the sills once ive cut the rot out.
They do a rust converter primer which actually works, so ive been told. Wants to at £30 a can. Cavity...
If its bubbling on the lower rear quarter, your sills will be fucked by now.
Have a look behind your doorcards and take the skirts off, I wish you the best of luck 😂
I literally bought myself a new daily as I wasnt happy to use these through winter 😂
I had them on the car for a couple of months and already they look a complete mess. Work fine still, just covered in rust.
Going to clean them up and paint the bits I can, may even fit new bearings for the...
1st look in daylight
Drove it over to the house and figured I'd get started on swapping the doorcards over
Who knew it'd be such a faff.
Exclusive ones removed, finally the last of the leather is gone.
Anyway, put the standard ph1 doorcard in place and well, none of the bottom screw...
Got the car back together on the weekend, brakes all fitted and bled, 1.2s on the front, but then the battery was dead so couldnt finish until the monday.
Think I'm going to keep the 1.2s white for now, until I need to change tyres atleast.
The F1's however..
I took the tyres off...
