Masked off while I finished the interior areas.

No bitumen sheets to be seen, I'm sure this has lightened the car up somewhat. The frame rail welds are obvious on the passenger side (both sides were replaced). and the tops of the wheel arch have had some mounting points for seat belts included to give me some extra options about holding me in the car. The slag has some sound deadening properties, but I found a light weight fire retardant sound and heat insulator to use instead, which also doesn't hold water.

You can see the second coat of slag in the wiper motor bay, and onto the wheel arch in the interior.

You can see the absence of any of the bitumen, it was pretty heavy too. if you look at the top of the photo you can see where the welds for new frame rails. The schtien slag was still dry/hardening.

Even though I intend to use silicon brake fluid I've slaged under areas that may get brake fluid on them in the engine bay. Oh, did I mention that the frames rails were replaced with new items and that they were galvanised before being welded in.
