This part under the sills isn't a bad thing to make the car more rigid, I think you may keep this as it.

I think I'll put Carlton/Omega A Senator B Sills on it - that bit needs a little repair anyway

So I pushed it out of the garage after work before the light went

Image

Image

Yeah I'm happy with it - hope when the weight goes back in it drops a little more

A couple of pictures that I wasn't going to post

Roof is now painted

Image

As all the top of the roll cage

Image

So I'd better crack on with welding it up once the paint is dry

Right so this week - yes the whole damn week I've been trying to remove some grot/rust/rot in the rear panel underneath the rear lights inside the boot.

Back of the boot where the boot floor joins the rear panel - is 3 or possibly 4 layers of steel sandwich and when I cleaned it up I had some pin holes

Now in my experience pin holes frequently mean much worse lies behind

So I cut a few squares out - and then those squares in the main got bigger - yeah maybe a bit more would need to come out - I think I cut out 8 holes before I thought about it - I'd previously done a pretty rubbish repair on my Monza in exactly the same area (hmm technically this means I'm doing it again) so I'd realised that the best way to do it would be to cut it all out and then see what was needed

To get this far has taken me all week (Have I mentioned that before?)

The drivers side tow point needed removal first - why? - Well I intend having a single central tow point - because Race Car........... And the other passenger side tow point - well that left the building with the boot floor and it wasn't coming back as I need to run the exhaust where the spare wheel well was.

So the Drivers side tow point that's a right little sandwich in itself and having ground off the fixings I pretty soon realised that it was a good job it was going as whilst the toe point itself was good it would have torn away the first time it was used

Image

So I have a hole to fill - Patch number 1

So Drivers Side (Patch number 2 - technically it's two patches but as it's one hole I'm counting it as 1)

Image

Middle (Patch number 3) This bit is actually really solid so it was just a pin hole or two

Image

Passenger side (Patch number 4 - same rules as patch 2 apply)

Image

So I need to re-make the inside edge of the rear panel so I kept a bit to act as a template (ish)

Image

Yeah it was pretty frilly!!!

Err last of all - the eagle eyed amongst you will notice that I've done some other cutting to accept the rear silencer outlet but I have to join the two skins together so patch number 5

Annoyingly the silencer is too short and as I'm right on the borderline with the car noise wise on track days I'll throw a much bigger silencer in there and hopefully I'll make some noise testers happy (and for events with less noise restriction I'll make a straight pipe up to bolt in place)

This also means the Commodore is longer at the back and shorter at the front - I really do hope I've got the shell in the right place.........

Got an early Xmas pressie today

Image

Well better see if they are any good

Image

I can work with that - yes some modification required but much more preferred to making from scratch

So having wasted some time I got on with filling a hole

Bit of CAD (Cardboard Aided Design) then chop up a bit of steel and sparky stick it in the hole

I taped them on

Brown tape too

More of it

Image

I actually quite like the brown tape look - better than a broom
