Body now removed from frame.

Now that the body is off it can bee seen from the pic above the rust was so bad that it was only gravity keeping the body on : )

Here you can see No.2 the body mount bolt  which was rust seized into place.

Windsceern now removed to check out frame (all good).

Next job was to remove No.3 access panel for greater access,

Now that it is removed I have great access to the cage,

Here is a closer shot of what is left of the rail,

Not much metal here,mostly rust.

There was a load fo fine sand and dirt holding moisture in the No.3 mounts which would have been the main cause of such bad rust.

Here is the car on the quickly thrown together dolly I made (not finished yet).

I had removed the doors before I mounted the body on the dolly,

This gave greater access to the bird cage to check out other rust areas.

Once I had removed the fiberglass piece it exposed more rust on the No.2 body mount,

Here is a pic from the inside,I have a bit of work ahead of me here.

Here again the air tool with a cobalt bit comes in handy.

Here now we have the rust removed back as far as the good metal.

A close up

Here is more rust being cut out.

From under.

All rust removed.

Not much room to work at times between a tractor and baler,

A shot of the complete chassie without body.

Here on the passenger side No.3 body mount I used a air chisel

Here is a shot after cutting thr most of thr bad rust out.
