Well, Gwen's in the shop!
Spent the morning pulling her apart (actually i did what you can see in about 2 hours)
We found some really nasty rust... but it should all be repairable.. just ALOT of cutting and welding!!
Also some really nasty repairs... like the wire mesh behind and fiberglassed over the top.. with some expanda-foam to top it off!! :repuke
But yeah, i'm just glad we found it, and now its gonna be fixed PROPERLY!!

That shit really is disgusting! :duh:
Some people...ok...MOST people should not be allowed to have fiberglass and expanding phome!

Good to see the work underway Jo.:thumb
Get out the stainless steel grinder cutting blades mate and go to town on that rust, those blades are much finer and cut body work like the old hot
knife in butter.
Oh i'm not doing the actual repairs! I'm leaving that to Craig (the panel beater - great guy!)
Are you going to keep it the same colour?
Yep!
tough luck Jo!
Its a bugger to find someone has done that to a nice car...
Gwendoline will love you lots for the fix!
looks like you are going to need a cut panel to repair that lot. rear parcel shelf to boot lid should cover that. would have helped you out, but body was dumped 2 months ago plus the distance!. good luck with it.:thumb
Hehe yeah, thanks for the thought though DUBB61
Panel beater reckons he'll be able to fix it without too much trouble.. he's a pretty talented guy!
ah, if thats the worst of it in a 34 year old notch your doing pretty well.
ouch" but it will fix beter 2 find it now than later :thumb
*UPDATE*
Just got back from going and checking Gwen's progress.. She's looking a damn sight better!! All the rust that we found is now gone.. just a few
minor things left, and a bit of paint and she'll be back on the road!
Hopefully i'll have her back this weekend! :kiss
:sandrine YOU GO GIRL!!!
