Looks great!

Thanks rkmiller73

Bit more work on the left side A pillar









Bit of epoxy primer

[Nuts]

Nice work!

[Rayatswan]

Cleaned up some welds to finish up for the day

[Rayatswan]

Right side A pillar is worse than left side, especially under the drip rail and inside windscreen post.

Considering that 55 years ago it was built, never painted on the inside, by 1973 (fuel crisis) it was worth nothing, probably left outside for years ..... It is not too bad

[Rayatswan]

No argument there Kerry, amazing they lasted this long.

[Rayatswan]

My sandblaster wouldn't remove the rust on the A pillar so I decided to have a go at Electrolysis



This is after 30 minutes

[Rayatswan]

Clamped ready for welding





Refitted the cowell to make sure the firewall still fits, I used witness marks from the removal process





Firewall will need a bit of work before I can use it

As someone that has been there many times, I feel your pain.

[Rayatswan]

Welded in Torque Box's and painted some epoxy

[Nuts]

You're almost done!!
Nice work!!

[Rayatswan]

Started windscreen wiper right hand drive conversion on the lower cowl today, cut out, tacked and tig welded.

[rkmiller73]

That is looking great! Brings back memories from my last rusty project Mustang!

It is great we can get the sheet parts to put these old cars back together.

Finished bottom cowl wiper conversion for right hand drive and deleted fresh air intakes.
