After my last post a month or so ago, my landlord has prepped a bunch of pieces and wanted the body down. With it on the rotisserie, I managed to sand and otherwise prep the red front end ready to repaint. My expert MIG welder friend then suggested we should repair the rusted rear fender while still upside down. These photos show the major steps done. The first is getting it down from the storage shelf. The next is the fender after removing the unacceptable work done by the DPO. The third is with the fender completely patched but a lot of weld grinding still required. That MIG is almost like magic. He does it in many-many little dots but there is essentially no distortion to fix later. I had previously retrieved patch panels from a parts car before it went to the crusher but it still required a lot of other pieces and welding. The outer skin is made up of 4 pieces, 1 from the parts car, 1 from the DPO's original patch and 2 hand made. The outer half of the wheel well is also 4 pieces, 1 original part, 1 from the parts car and 2 hand made. With all the cutting, fitting and welding it took 4 half days to get to this point. At our age, a half day really is a full load.
