EEEE bloody hell Phredd. seems like ages ago now, hope yourer keepiong well.
Finnished doin the front repair this afternoon was more to it than i first thought.

All painted up before the rain started.

Next job moving onto the front O/s , N/s steps.

Things have come to a halt until the snow has gone and its warmed up a bit
One quick question while ive got the front end in bits, is that fibre board round the radiator realy necesary? it was in bits anyway and as far as i could see it was holding water and causing the rot on the front cross beam .

scrap it, I have banged on about this , it diverts the water and carp to the rear of the fr panal as you describe. fit one if you wish but cut a scoop out of it, I will try find a picky of it

Mike explained this to me and I have to agree it's a design fault that you can do without.

Bits that were left are now in the bin;-).

Bit too cold to do any welding today so decided to take the front matts out. There had been a piece of carpet glued down over the rubber and when pealed back it left most of the foam backing:-S. After an hour of scrubbing I had the smaller matt that fits between the seats cleaned , however some glue has been left behind. Whats the best thing to remove the glue without damaging the rubber ?

carb cleaner, petrol...
3M do a really good glue remover too

Cheers kev. Ill try the carb cleaner tomorrow

Spent best opart of 8 hours yesterday and today cleaning the mats .
Talk about not having a life
once the carpet had been pealed off.


After kevs recomendation i used carb cleaner, not too bad then found Summet called Bond Loc multi purpose solvent cleaner and degreaser, this worked a treat, but still needed lots of elbow grease.


Andrea wasnt too impressed with me doing on the new rug, oops
Also made a start on the o/s step

Hole in the I beam behind the step which got patched up while i had acces

Bloody cold today so just de frosing with a few pints of old speckled hen

got the step in today

found this bit of rot on top of the wheel arch where it meets the upright(is that the B pilar where the seatbelt real is mounted)

Cut that out and the rot was very localised but had spread into the upright pilar aswell, Cut it all out then made 3 patches to fit.

Thats the pasengers seeting area about done . Ill be moving onto the drivers side next.
