Getting aussie roadrunner ready for road

[dodgey68]

keep tacking away, looks like a good start, don't forget the welds on the inside of the frame rail. I don't see spots for them in your picture

yep on it thank you , i gotta drill holes to plugweld that,

That is for sure. I tried an 1/8 inch hole but that was too small for me so went with quarter inch. That seemed to work better. But welding with glasses on might have been my problem. Good luck. Russ.

 

[dodgey68]

Both front floors done. Just grinding welds on middle tunnel. Then interior back in.

 

[Russ69Runner]

Good job dodgey68. Wish that was all I had to do to this runner. Hope your driving it soon.

 

[dodgey68]

Muffler time.. old red hot dogs where rotted out..

 

[Russ69Runner]

Next challenge

 

[dodgey68]

Finally getting back into it

 

[Russ69Runner]

This look's like the norm for these car's. Bought the hole inner rocker and cut it to slip into the non damaged rocker. I was surprised it slipped into the old rocker. Look's good keep up the good work.

 

[dodgey68]

Made 2 of these and they fit.. lot more prep work before i fit these.
Not bad considering im not a panel beater. Just having a go..

Nothing says need one big piece. Use smaller pieces and make sure get your body lines. You are well on your way. Looks good

 

[Russ69Runner]

That is the way to get it done. Never know unless you try. I did opt to get new quarter's. Still had to work on the metal where it met with the roof down the back window. Keep at it and you will get it. Russ.

 

[dodgey68]

Ready to weld

 

[Russ69Runner]

Looking good. It takes a lot of work don't it. Keep it up and you will have it back on the road.

 

[dodgey68]

Done

 

[Russ69Runner]

Could not have gotten a better job done at a body shop.

 

[dodgey68]

Like i said im not a panel beater. But im having a go.

These area's seem to be the norm for rust. Got a good look at mine when doing the wheel tub install. Passenger side put half the rocker in my self. Seen a lot when putting new quarter's on also. Your getting it done for sure. We have to do what ever it takes for sure. You are saving a lot of money doing the work.
