Default Re: Double Trouble - Sloper

Both Wayne's and my car had more or less the same damage from the ravages of time and abuse.
Prior to heading off overseas we braced out Wayne's car as the B pillars had been weakened and torn away from the floor as well as all the various rust areas all over on his floor pan.
The bracing was made from front to rear and cross ways.

Whereas my car was still somewhat stable after all the floor having been chiselled out some years back with only the rails still intact enough to bolt down the body. Whilst my Sloper went overseas on its little sojurn I did give it a "sort off" bracing. Put that down to being slack.
I wont bore you with the pics of that one.

Now that both cars were back together at one location, the real issues of which sections of damage had to be done in order of priority and in what stages to get us ready for marrying the body to the new floors on the chassis.
Simple,!!!! we need to replace B pillars and rear tail pan areas.

Sorry for the quality of pics, but you can get the general idea how bad the overall condition of the floor and B pillars are on Wayne's.
