Torque Box renewal & more
|
At this page I'm showing you what you could exspect if you wan't to replace the cowl side panel. The hardest work was to give this rough repro panel the correct shape of the original one. I marked this at one picture, so that you could compare the before (driver side) and after (passenger side) of that sheet metal. Also you can see that we welded in a new headlamp inner panel bracket and the first floor (to firewall) pan going in. The original welds to the fresh torque box complete this step... |

Trunk area repair

Another hard part of the body restoration is waiting here for you! The inner rocker and also the lower part of the a-pillar has to come out. To make it looking better I show how christine is looking with one original and one NOS fender again. If you have questions about that don't hesitate to ask me. After finishing the body section there will be five more sections you could follow in the future. There will be a Paint , Body and Interior reassembling, Electric and a Power train section. |
