Thought I'd past the "dealing with rust" part of this build by now.. but after a bit of digging around a couple of grotty points inside the car I found this... :an:

So usual service resumed of grinding out, treating and replacing with new metal..







And I found another bit of grot as well... :ao:







Not flawless, but as it's going to be covered by the carpet/interior I figured it was ok..
Whilst I had the grinding/welding kit out, I thought I'd fix the missing bottom screw location for the front O/S wing that was lost during the fabrication work that was done by the welder some months ago. The existing screw thread was present on the N/S of the car, so I set about copying it as best I could.. I started off with the correct threaded spire clip:

and then split it down so I just had the "Threaded" part:

I then drilled out the sill for the clearance hole I required:

Then removed the existing paint on the back-side of the sill:

And then a couple of spot welds to keep the threaded section in place:

Job Jobbed!!
Thanks for reading
