nice little more door you got there mate, im in love with mine
started the prep work today so we (my mate) have less work to do tomorrow. anyway, the small holes were a little bigger tan first thought...
also because one of them is close to the wing, i thought i'd get it off today and put it back on with a couple of bolts missing, and it gave me a chance to nosey behind it!
finished up my part of the prep work (i don weld so i donr know if it needs any more taking off, but i'm taking a grinder and wire brushes so should be good)...
and i've also managed to slightly increase my power/weight ratio...:D
more soon!
I'm just about to scrap a mk1 5 door mate if you need anything? Doors aint much good tho apart from the pas rear one? The wings are also ok :D
its the front doors that ideally need swapping on mine, and the wings arnt bad on this one. i find it nice that i'm not chasing rust in the usual places on a nova for once!
anyway quick update, welding is done, most looks ok but the welder ran out of gas so the last bits need grinding and hammeriting before the retest!
Would it not be easier/neater to put a whole replacement sill on?
yes it would if i had the money/time/patience, it'll have a pair on before long i reckon, as both sides have had nasty looking repairs at the back before i got the car. but so long as it gets a ticket for now i'm happy
well it failed again on two magical "new" holes. i'm sure this guy doesnt want to pass it...
what did he use to find the holes????Originally Posted by Asa-James
if it wasn't one of these, then threaten him. a friend of mine got failed twice cos the bloke rammed a no.1 phillips screwdriver thru her sill....
the lad who did the welding for me (an old workmate from the garage) went down as soon as he found out. he knows the tester, and works closely with the owner of the three garages in the chain. something has gone on and i dont know what, but i've been told my car will be passed and ready tomorrow...
