Had a good couple of days on the rear 1/4 panel...
All hidden areas were treated with Bilt Hamber Hydrate 80, then painted, weld areas were taken back to fresh metal and Roberlo weld through copper primer used.


Tacked in...


Fully welded...


all welds ground down


couple of coats of Hydrate 80 to protect the fresh metal before I get to paint, it will only need a very small amount of filler at the weld seams..




Wally: the plan is to get it all de-bugged with this engine, should be an easy 300bhp with ported bits and pieces and the td05. Then later on up the capacity to a 2.5, either using a 2.5 sti bottom end or maybe getting this closed deck block sleeved to 2.5 for a really strong block, then comes bigger turbo etc etc and maybe 500bhp? Got to make that trans work for its living, lol!
