And steve doing the last of the repairs to the tailgate.

After a couple of days with out posting anything due to etch primer and under coat looking the same. I thought i would wait till the panels were undercoated.
The panels at first stage of undercoat
Inside panels and tailgate painted .
Also inside the car itself has been sprayed with body deadner and had a coat of paint put over the top.

Ok peoples, Rick asked me to post a couple more pics of the work we're doing on this car, since I took the photos and haven't shared them with him yet...
These are the floor beams/gussets that I quickly made up yesterday to give the car some extra strength to cope with whatever might come its way (including extra heavy passengers).
And this is the new section inside the rear of the sill, where it meets the framing under the car. A fairly crucial part of the car's structure if you get hit.
And this is the outside welded up ready for priming.
Here's part of the finished repairs to the tailgate rust.
Over the other side, after priming...
Last pic for now, the bottom of the driver's fender, with new section fabricated and welded in.

Slowly moving forward.
As we are not tradesmen in any field to do with cars, a little putty to change the work from amateur to tradesman finish.

Nothing wrong with a bit of putty/bog we all know the "Professionals"
love it too.
Top work on the metal fab. Those metal replications are very factory.They look they are gal pieces? Interested in what you use to weld them in? mig/gas and spot welder?

We don't like to use putty/bog, only enough to sweeten up over where welding is done.

the welding is only done with a very basic cheap mig.

One more step forward , the sills have some stone chip protection and a bit of sound deadener under the bonnet.

We have only used body deadener as the chip protection which works well once covered by the top coat.Hamish71 wrote:whats the stone chip protection producted called, and how is it applied?
It is applied with a proof coat gun.

do you guys notice a difference afterwards all painted with the body deadener/soundproofing for noise in the cabin or the likes?
cars looking good sofar keep it up.
Each car that has been sprayed ( 3 ) with the deadener has had (at a guess) about a 20% drop in cabin noise.
