Another cut required for rust repair.....

[Shan]

Hi guys,

 

It appears I have a more pressing need for the following cut.  My mate indicates this is beyond his skills to replicate.

 

I have attached image of rust area I need to replace.  I know this is a bit of a problem area in many Zeds.  Can anyone assist with a suitable clean cut or suggest an alternative?

 

Thanks

This thread might help.

I hepled FuzzyDropBear with his, i think i would be easy to fabricate the inside. The outer rail, not so easy.

Thanks for that - will be helpful.

 

Seems like another peice was still used from a donor car though yeah?  Both inside and outside rail need work on mine.  Would like to get away with fabricating as little as possible.

 

If not other option presents itself - will give it a crack.

 

Cheers.

Yep we had a donor... ask lurch, he just cut up a shell.

Hmm, yes, I still have to make up the template bit for that inner section hey? I'll put that on my to-do list for my holidays (it's getting longer with each day of leave). 

 

If you get really stuck on the outside rail, you can make up some replacement sections, I was making mine before someone  cut the front off my donor car and told me to stop being a pansy  They're not too hard to make, I rekon if I had a crack at another piece it wouldn't be too bad, but a bit time consuming. But someone else's parts car would be the best and quickest alternative.

 

Good luck mate.

You can't cut out & weld in a flat section of new metal?! Oh come on...

where did you get a half cut from??

[Shan]

Yeah - I know Lurch. 

The guy doing it for me is not the most experienced - but I have "zero" experience - so have been following his direction.  He thought it would be easier to get a cut from another car, but having seen the other post with pic's - seems like it should be easier than I thought.

 

Will show him the post from scoota and see if he changes his opinion.

 

Maygz - reckon I may still take you up on your kind offer.  Just hold off until I hear back from my mate - see if he is willing to give it a crack without the cuts.

 

Cheers.

Shan,

 

you might need to be quick, I've had few inquiries about the 1/2 from others.

Like seagulls to a thrown chip.....

 

I am away this weekend maygz, but if you could hold off until monday on the sections I have indicated - (drivers side front and passenger pillar) - I will give you a definite answer then.

 

At this point they are the only sections I require.....(god I hope so anyway!).

All sorted
