well your quick
there will be more-ish..
anyhow back to things, a bit more expense for ME, my welding hat broke after many years so a new auto hat ordered, dont use it that much on vans, i prefere the hand held inspection shield as it dont get in the way..
removed the bulk of the what was a fairly inoccuose looking frontpanal
want a better look
this is the centre bit some of which i will be keeping
this was ready to burst through come what may
this bit of arch will hopefully come good once its cleaned up and the damage removed
have to admit, the vw sealnat does work well but,,,, once a way in occurs then the rust just creeps
sealant scaped of, looks better already and after blasting it will be a pleasure to repair,and be as good as new , its one of those cases where a repair like this is preferable to the pattern part
osr arch , sealant removed and its very good back here, so I have marked the spots ready for setting too with the new bit
bu**er its sharp
not to worry,
the rust is between the external seam and the interior side, there is no protecftion to the metal from new so inherant moisture during manufacture just festers away, this is then aided in some areas where its exposed to air
this is the rest of the arch with it opened up , will be able to blast in here and also nice fit for the new arch
these 2 are just for the record, osr lower panal, nice..............
