Nice one .
I know how you feel. I had to do sh1t load of welding on my 3rd Gen Firebird.

 

[AmericanThunder]

Filled it with fuel.... oh and drove it!
First time I have visited a petrol station since October and changed my insurance specifically to drive to work today. Need to get some use out of it.

I don't mind the work and i am no expert but i do wish people would at least try and cut the rot out instead of a bit of filler and paint

 

[renchero]

trouble is some of these bodge artist think they are doing it right. i know someone who genuinely thinks patching sills by sticking plates on with filler is the correct way. he was taught in a so called body shop

At least they are using plates!
I’ve seen repairs done using chicken wire to give the filler something to bond too because the hole they are filling is so big!!

 

[Will]

If for whatever reason the entire panel can't be replaced, I cut out the tin worm and fabricate steel sheet to repair the resultant hole in the panel, but only by welding. It's staggering to think that someone would use filler!
OMG..chicken wire! . I've even found tinfoil and old newspaper within filler before!

Repaired the rear suspension....

 

[AmericanThunder]

Looks fine to me! ?. But that Tyre looks a little worn! ?

 

[TransAmDan]

Certainly not a Watts link, not enough articulation.

I was about to say at least it has a Panhard rod, but it's more of a Panhard bodge!
