why stripping is good

Post by **Adam-D** » Tue Jun 07, 2005 5:59 pm

you find all the rusty bits you dont see till it fails the mot a shafts you for lots of money

rust behind the accel pedal

light rust starting around the rear passenger bolt hole for the seat

the passenger seat mount has cracked

the drivers has been welded but the weld has a crack in so im gonna talk this over, see if other seat would be good, side mount rally seats and cut out the raised centre bit?
dunno yet

this is the worst bit
it has rusted almost throu, i stabbed it with screwdriver it is small but its almost a hole

and two stripped pics or how it looks now

best way to get sound deadning off is
wallpaper scraper
then do it again removing all the surface small dots
then white spirits

i think welding is something along the lines of Â£6 per inch. then the price of a metal plate (if needed) on top
dunno where ive got that from tho, just something someones told me at some point?

Â£200 blimey, thats more than i thought it\'d be. mind you that one near the pedal isnt gonna be easy to do

i thought it would be more expensive than that so am happy
