WRX/Porsche Karmann cabrio 1303

[ricola]

Doors painted...


More rust uncovered! This is the drain tube from the scuttle area by the wipers, it's a well known rust trap in 1303s so I wasn't too surprised. Repair from the inside of the car was the easiest way to go. Here I have opened out the rusty areas ready to weld new sections in.


To repair the tube I decided to use another trick I saw, bend some copper strip around the part and weld straight onto the strip creating the new section.


The outside surface is smooth (as it went straight on to the copper surface) but the inside needed some work with the die grinder . All good in the end though!


I've been busy doing minor bodywork too getting the main shell ready for paint, nearly there!
