Chasis rail welded into place... Still needs to be dressed and painted.
as there is an inner and outer layer here, I cut back the outer skin and welded the two inner skins together then made a new outer skin section so I could plate over the inner skin weld. I'm hoping this will reduce the risk of failure down the line and add some additional strength.
I gotta say this was a pain to do outside with the car on the ground and everything welded overhead in still waiting to get my engine back and this is really killing me as I'd be able to get the car on a ramp and do these repairs at a more reasonable height.
Oh well... Either way I'm happy to have another box checked.
The passenger side leg isn't half as bad some corrosion on the outside and a small hole on the inside. If possible I'd like to try and just patch this up if I can it would be easier and quicker (I hope) than having to cut out and replace the whole thing.
