Hero!!

o/s chassis leg,

now this one im going to remove the forward section only, for the simple fact that most chassis leg repair sections only go to the bulkhead and not fully under the floor, the same process can be done on either leg as the weld positions seem to mirror themselves,
only one pic as i was getting tired and hungry
yellow dot................i think you get the gist by now

great work, keep it up

[bazil]

o/s leg continued

right guess what the yellow dots are for here







here for illistration only is how the repair section would be offerd to the car ( i didnt spend any time trying to line it up as its only for a quick pic)
either leg can be removed from the bulkhead only in order to fit the repair section, the welds on the n/s pretty much match the o/s,

[bazil]

right a quick guide in how to find spot welds hidden by sealer,

hmmmmmm can see them


add some heat,


then some srapping, this will peel of very easily now


after a little bit of sand paper and et-voila



and now drilled oot



as always any questions or comments please ask.

Still not ready to tackle the Gsi yet ?

Looks like you've got the skills

[bazil]

not got the floor, unlevel ground is ok for removing chassis legs but not for fitting them,

anyone interested in full roof skin removal?

[bazil]

Some seriously good info there. Roof skin would be good, but a pig of a job.
