| 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. |
