The ramblings of a welder /fabricator /metalshaper... Fighting rust daily to keep heritage cars going for as long as possible.
Follow me to see some cars thought to be unrepairable, resurrected and saved from the cold jaws of a bailer.

This section can be bought as an aftermarket panel.- quite a good pressing.
Prepped it for plug welding, some weld through primer and welded in place.

Well that escalated.... Just a before pic to show the hidden scabby bits behind the plastic trims, but who would have guessed it's that far gone?
The wheel house area that caps the end of the sill is removed to carry out internal repairs.

Some parts are salvageable, like this bumper bracket. Looks like it's been sat at the bottom of a bucket with water.
Some shot blasting action and the results speak for themselves.
It's pitted a little, but the bracket is heavy guage so it can go back on.

Hello all, been on a small much needed break!
But back to the daily grind. No puns intended.
Started making and welding new repair sections and rebuilding from good metal.

The inner wheel house has seen some better days. It was a good time to attack this area with a slitting disk. I peeled back the layers one at a time, carefully cutting back the rust until I reached good, solid metal to start rebuilding from.
