The work begins
Surface rust |
||
More surface rust, waves and dented wheel wells | ||
Close look | ||
Taking out dents |
More dents and much more hard work as expected | ||
The right metal
line is the gas line !
Underneath the trunk plate - RUST - due to leaves, gravel and dirt |
Welding in a matching piece of metal | ||
Wheel wells are almost done | ||
Welded metal and trunk plate support | ||
Undercoated | ||
... and sealed with silicon | ||
The sides and rear done with primer | ||
Just before painting The ready product |
No, no digital touch up, that's real | ||
Pictures in the park
The Ol' Lady Shining |
