Door hinge post repair.
Too many pin holes. Replaced with a fairly decent replacement. Not a bad fit for non OEM. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1520938297.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1520938297.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1520938297.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1520938297.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1520938297.jpg |

A few last jobs before interior paint:
grind off all the rotten carpet buttons, mounting points and fix two holes in the seat pan. Not pretty but strong. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1520939276.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1520939276.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1520939276.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1520939276.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1520939276.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1520939276.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1520939276.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1520939276.jpg |
Mask and ready for paint.
A coat of satin black for the dash (planning on not having a dashboard) Sad to cover up this piece of the car's identity, but at least it means there is something for the next caretaker to discover. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1520939758.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1520939758.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1520939758.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1520939758.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1520939365.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1520939365.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1520939365.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1520939365.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1520939365.jpg |

First coat, seam sealer and a good sand.

A bit out of sequence, but the underside got seam sealer before the undercoat.

A bit of a tangent.
Started playing with the doors and custom door cards. In order to rectify some enthusiastic but badly executed repairs I needed to get better access to the outside door skin. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1520941780.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1520941780.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1520941780.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1520941780.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1520941780.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1520941780.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1520941780.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1520941780.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1520941780.jpg |

This was the first prototype.
A proof of concept. The final versions will be done in ALU. I was avoiding more this.... http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1520942193.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1520942193.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1520942193.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1520942193.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1520942193.jpg But the doors are reasonably straight now. With less filler than I thought I would need. |
This slowed progress somewhat.
Lucky to get away with only 15 stitches. Beware a fresh flap disk... http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1520942347.jpg |
