I started a couple of months ago... this is just a late posting of all the stuff I've done so far. there is a total of 3 x 7 days of work at the moment... this is my 4th week of work. _________________ "That bumper fits there like sunglasses on pig" O.E.

After finishing seat fixings and other little details, it was time to get done with the front end of the body, to concentrate on finishing the rear... what it was like when I got the car : I didn't want to remove windscreen and replace whole thing because I figured I'd break the glass, then make a mess of the welding and have to scrap the body... So I cut the cancer out... I did it in several pieces, because I figured I'd have more control over small sections than one big one... Not quite finished, but I have no light in my workplace, so I'll do the rest tomorrow... _________________ "That bumper fits there like sunglasses on pig" O.E.

If you break your windshield, I have several at home... But it's quite far from your actually ! _________________ www.super2cv.com Back to top JoZeF Grave Digger Joined: 25 May 2007 Posts: 1734 Posted: Sun Mar 01, 2009 10:49 pm    Post subject: Thanks I've nearly finished. Was ok, just a matter of getting edges nice and jointed. and a bit of patience. So some grinding, and a little filler, and them some FAKE patina, and it should be ok... _________________ "That bumper fits there like sunglasses on pig" O.E.

Its funny how curved bottom of body actually is. Even if you get center in ground rear is still so much up. Ofcourse its not so much visible when you are next to the car. -Olli _________________ www.ollierkkila.com Back to top björn Lowered Joined: 19 Jun 2007 Posts: 1695 Location: hillywood(hilversum)/holland Posted: Tue Mar 03, 2009 2:18 pm    Post subject: ooh yes! look cool you are going to get coments from ami lovers _________________ Back to top JoZeF Grave Digger Joined: 25 May 2007 Posts: 1734 Posted: Tue Mar 03, 2009 2:18 pm    Post subject: True at the end of the day, it will be a very very low AMI 6. but it's funny to see how many details a channeling job really makes visible on a body you know. _________________ "That bumper fits there like sunglasses on pig" O.E.

Back to top JoZeF Grave Digger Joined: 25 May 2007 Posts: 1734 Posted: Tue Mar 03, 2009 5:14 pm    Post subject: Yep, it's MIG weld... but with shitty Flux core wire... so, if you're patient enough, it doesn't warp or burn holes.... but you gotta be really patient... I've done an OKish job, but it will require a bit of hammering and some filler... should be alright in the end. _________________ "That bumper fits there like sunglasses on pig" O.E.

Back to top JoZeF Grave Digger Joined: 25 May 2007 Posts: 1734 Posted: Tue Mar 03, 2009 6:49 pm    Post subject: Yeah, that's the way I did it. A spot in the middle, then one on each end. and then you go on doing spots everywhere, each time far apart... If you attempt to do a line of welding on such thin metal... it will either burn holes or go wild shaped... _________________ "That bumper fits there like sunglasses on pig" O.E.
