1978/79 GTS

Now onto just how bad the RH of the car was rusted further.


The Bottom RH corner of the wheel well needed some surgery.

   


The door switch area 


   


The air vent area, thus this concludes that all three areas joining together here was affected due to the weather rubber not fitted on the door check strap.

After strengthening the RH bottom corner up again and putting some extra strong plating in just for good measure the poor RH floor pan was tacked in finally.

   

The Wheel arch area got some of the same treatment.



   


Then it was onto the outside edges of the fenders that needed some attention.


   

---

The maestro worked his magic and we cut the fender loose from the slam panel below the indicator hole and then the metal shaped very well as the previous owner just did not have a clue how to repair this area very well.  Here the slam panel support for the bonnet latch and the front mount radiator cutout repair was already done.


   


a Nice almost correct angle of the area.


   


The ACID drenched excuse for a rusted battery box.


   


The plasma cutter came out to play.


   


Finally less rust on the car still to have to deal with.
