Full days work 2…sort of

Todays work was to finish the inside part of the channel, and tackle either the front wheel well or the rear wheel well.

This patch looks a little “hack” but it will all be hidden.

The front wheel well was my next project.  I started cutting and it didn’t seem to stop.  At some point welding patches is a losing battle and it become easier to replace the entire panel.  I think this is one of them.

To get to the rust I had to grind off all the welds holding in the hood release.

So I stopped working up front and moved to the back.  Not much more success back there.  I started by trying to remove the plate that holds the rear body mount (that was hacked already).

The metal behind the plate is also bad, I need to do some research to figure out if there is a panel I can buy that will fix this part and the rear bumper mount (which is toast also).

If I knew then what I know now, this car should have been cut up and sold as parts, this thing is a disaster.
