Today I did !!!!

Today I wired a new switch into my air ride system so I can control with a palm held unit , Also my mate cut this rot out of my front passenger footwell.

He then fabricated some replacement panels and welded them in

Hopefully if the weather hold outs tomorrow we will do the other side.



What have you done today?

Re: Today I did !!!!

Sat at home waiting on another no-show for the Escort. Had other things i'd preferred to do like go to the swap meet at the corvette show. Don't care bout the cars but like to look at the swap goodies.

Re: Today I did !!!!

I got motivated to finish vacuuming out the rust particles out of the XL. I also got a sanding disk out and took the driver side seat foundation to bare metal and then primed it. I also took the air hammer out to cross-brace under the front of the rear seat to see how rotted it was where I could not see. Well, I will be pulling the brace out and replacing the entire pass. and driver side pans.. Front to back, including the rear seat pan. The bright side is - I will have a completely new , solid floor in the entire car when I am done. Still need to get my argon tank filled so I am not in a hurry..


Does that make any points for getting something accomplished? hehehe. I don't feel like it.

Re: Today I did !!!!

Get yourself a gold star sticker. If you have a garage you can stick it to the door way or something each time you get something done. I got nothing done today so you did good.

Re: Today I did !!!!

Today I stripped the crappy patch panel of drivers side front foot well and found more rust , suprie surprise . I seam sealed the repairs we did yesterday as well.
I trial fitted my rear bumper to work out where the LPG filler neck should sit behind number plate and then decided to fit in original fuel filler position next to original filler neck.
Now trying to decide on what colour to paint body next week. If only I could do photo shop lol
