A-pillar nr 2

Today we first started with Welding in some struts to hold the car together.
Then a large piece of metal was cut out to get access to the parts behind it.

 Next we cut off a bad piece of rail ( rusted trough) and replaced it with some new plate.

 Next a piece of the floor that has holes in it was cut out and new plates ar made and tacked in place.

 Then a piece of metal was formed bent cut and welded to extend the lower part of the door rail.

 Then we tackled the part that was cut out. We cut the larger piece up in small sections to be repaired. and this parts was first. On the picture below the new parts of metal are tacked in place.

 Then the big sheet with the holes in it.

 We cut it in pieces and kept the good part. Then we cut a plate and formed it into a new piece and that was tacked to the old one.

 Then the seems is fully welded ground a painted and put aside.

 We the welded the part we made earlier and finished it an painted it.

 Then the part that is part of the A-pilar where the bottom hinge is mounted. The lower portion was repaired and new metal welded in place.

 After The paint had dried we mounted all the pieces together and tacked them in place. We've taken some measurements to be sure everything is in place where it needs to bee and started the welding process.

 The inside and the outside.

 We are now ready to do some grinding and make the last part to put in place.

But that will be for another day.
