Sometimes I check this thread to see how I'm going, sheesh I need to pull my finger out, when I see the rapid progress others are making I feel like a real slacker
Thanks Toby,
Room, apart from a double carport, and the mighty Supercheap man shed, I have now taken over my son's and daughter's bedrooms, a fair portion of the back deck, and I'd say it's a safe bet there will be a Citroen part or two in just about every room in the house
Motivation, not really a problem, my frustration is lack of serious time. I manage to start something but seldom finish to a point I'm happy with without having to pack-up and tidy my work area. I'd love a solid month to do nothing but get the car back on the road.
Work continues on the front passenger door
This shouldn't take long
The bottom is solid, a couple of rust bubble on the lower skin...
After poking around with a screwdriver, I could see I needed to do a small repair to the inside and outside of this corner. I opened the skin on the inside and cut the rust out, made a flanged patch to fit in under the open cut.
Before welding the inner I cut the rust from the outer skin and welded in a patch.
I did the same for the other area of rust.
The top corners of the door frame had the usual small splits, so I've just hit them with a little bronze.
...and that's about it for this weekend, I've just hit the bottom of the door with primer to hold it until next week. I'll strip the rest of the door with a strip disk and prep and prime next weekend - weather permitting.
Just a pic of my humble MIG, I use the disposable bottles for gas, they're around $25.00. and have a reasonable life, I think I'm on my third bottle now for this project.
Cheers
Chris
Absolutely brilliant ....... I see you have resorted to using gas in the MIG ..... Makes a massive difference doesn't it You slow though ...... I haven't even looked at the ID in about 2months. I should have a set of gassed spheres sorted for it by the end of the week though
