Got a little done on the car today, I took some leave from work to do some painting on the exterior of our house but it won't stop raining so I'm working on the car instead
Today's job was to box the other chassis rail. I got it done reasonably quick since I had already done the other side and knew how to do it.
Here is how it looked before I started.
Here it is after I cut it back and made the patch panel. It was not as easy as the other side to cut because I had to hold my grinder upside-down so the flat edge was against the base plate. This meant it wanted to grab and was shooting sparks towards my face.
This photo shows how I got the inner edge so neat. Basically just left a small flap of metal that I could tap with a hammer to fold over the patch panel.
Here it is all done with a bit of a clean up and some weld through primer.
Final photo showing both main chassis rails completely boxed and ready to be joined to the rear suspension cradle.
If it rains again tomorrow I might get some more done on it
